“…Several studies (e.g. Permentier et al, 2009;Tsafti & Cohen, 2003) have shown a relationship between perceived neighbourhood (or town) reputation and intention to move, though this is moderated by place attachment-especially having family living nearby. Indeed, in his study of 12 Danish estates, Skifter-Andersen (2008) reported that the perception of a poor area reputation was the most important influence on plans to move away.…”

This paper reviews work in several disciplines to distinguish between image, reputation and stigma. It also shows that there has been little research on the process by which area reputations are established and sustained through transmission processes. This paper reports on research into the portrayal of two social housing estates in the printed media over an extended period of time (14 years). It was found that negative and mixed coverage of the estates dominated, with the amount of positive coverage being very small. By examining the way in which dominant themes were used by newspapers in respect of each estate, questions are raised about the mode of operation of the press and the communities' collective right to challenge this. By identifying the way regeneration stories are covered and the nature of the content of positive stories, lessons are drawn for programmes of area transformation. The need for social regeneration activities is identified as an important ingredient for changing deprived-area reputations.

“…Even though censorship is associated with authoritarian societies, citizens in democratic societies express their willingness to censor specific controversial media content if it is perceived as socially harmful (McLeod et al, 2001). In addition to censorship, scholars have also analysed other behavioural outcomes such as expression of opinion (Mutz, 1989), residential mobility (Tsfati and Cohen, 2003), political decision-making , strategic voting (Cohen and Tsfati, 2009), and seeking information about the flu (Ran et al, 2008).…”

Psychology and Learning, 7(2), 15-30. AbstractGambling disorder is known to have a negatively detrimental impact on affected individual's physical and psychological health, social relationships, and finances. Via remote technologies (e.g., Internet, mobile phones, and interactive television), gambling has come out of gambling venues and has brought the potential for online gambling to occur anywhere (e.g., the home, the workplace, and on the move). Alongside the rise of online gambling, online gambling advertising have spread throughout all type of media. In a sample of 201 Spanish university students, the present study explored the perceived influence of online gambling advertising.More specifically it examined the Third-Person Effect (TPE), and its consequences on individuals' willingness to support censorship or public service advertising. The findings demonstrate that despite the difference on the perception of the effects of online gambling advertising, it scarcely accounts for the behavioural outcomes analysed. On the contrary, awareness of problem gambling and, above all, paternalistic attitudes appear to explain this support.

“…For instance, subjective evaluations of the neighbourhood are usually included in models on residential mobility (e.g. Lee et al 1994;Lu 1998;Kearns and Parkes 2003), while attention to the effects of external reputation is scarce (Tsfati and Cohen 2003). The influence of the outsiders' assessments on behaviour of residents in neighbourhood X is mediated through three elements (box 2, box 3 and box 4), as shown in Fig.…”

“…Whether or not the externals actually perceive the neighbourhood as the neighbourhood residents think they do does not matter. What matters is that the residents might change their behaviour because of the perceived reputation of externals (Tsfati and Cohen 2003).…”

“…Lee et al 1994;Lu 1998;Kearns and Parkes 2003), little attention has been devoted specifically to the role that a neighbourhood's reputation plays in residential mobility. The study by Tsfati and Cohen (2003) is one of the few exceptions. They found that the way residents perceive the image of their town (among externals) has an independent effect on thinking about residential mobility over and above the effect of satisfaction with the living conditions.…”

Most research on the effect of neighbourhood reputations focuses on the influence on attitudes and behaviour of non-residents. Much less attention is paid to the possible effects of a poor neighbourhood reputation on behaviour of residents. In order to get a better understanding of the effect of neighbourhoods on its residents (the so-called neighbourhood effects) and the role of neighbourhoods in the urban housing market, it is necessary to fill this gap. The aim of this paper is to review the literature on the reputation of places and to give an overview of possible behavioural responses of residents to negative neighbourhood reputations. The paper develops a model of behavioural responses of residents based on Hirschman's 'Exit, Voice and Loyalty' framework. Three basic responses are central to the discussion of the literature: leaving the neighbourhood, attempting to improve the neighbourhood through neighbourhood participation, and (dis)investing in social contacts within the neighbourhood.
