Attachment-to-Home: A Contributing Factor to Models of Residential Mobility Intentions

Traditional models of residential mobility use sociodemographic characteristics, housing characteristics, and residential satisfaction to explain the desire to move. This study compared the traditional mobility model with one that incorporated psychological attachment-to-home as an additional variable. Data were analyzed for 198 subjects who responded to a mail questionnaire and in-depth telephone interview. Correlation analysis revealed that two attachment-to-home factors, as well as the respondent's age and dwelling satisfaction, were significantly related to mobility intentions. Stepwise multiple regression was used to develop two models and indicated that the model incorporating attachment-to-homefactors explains more than twice as much of the variation in mobility intentions as the model using traditional variables alone.
