This research report explores attitudes and behaviours of residents of six areas in Northern Ireland with respect to their views on their ‘own’ community and the communities around them. In particular the research sets out to provide socio-psychological ‘explanations’ of the intransigence of sectarian attitudes and behaviours within networks in these communities.
