| dc.description.abstract | In this research, the question of whether ethnic identification is associated with social cohesion among ethnically diverse neighborhoods in Yeka Ayat 2, Condominium, Addis Ababa was assessed. To address the research questions of the study adequately, a quantitative method was applied. The data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire and 261 participants sampled by simple random sampling. The analysis of the data involved descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, linear regression, and multivariate analysis tests. The survey result shows that ethnic identification is less negatively related to neighborhood social cohesion, Pearson correlation -.21, p < .01. However, the linear regression shows that 4.4% of the variance in neighborhood social cohesion is predicted from the level of ethnic identification. Since the coefficient determination is significant, overall, the predictor variable is accounted for a significant amount of variance in neighborhood social cohesion. Moreover, the multilevel regression analysis shows that gender and ethnicity are unrelated to neighborly relation. Whereas difference in levels of education is significantly associated with neighborhood social cohesion, which is 13.5 % of the effect size of the variability in social cohesion is accounted for by differences in levels of education. Therefore, in this paper, I argue that ethnic identity and difference in the levels of education reduces the levels of cohesiveness among newly formed neighborhood residents at Yeka Ayat 2 Condominium | en_US |
