Self‐Reported Motives for Immobility or Constraints to Moving
Self‐reported motives for residential immobility are important for understanding why people remain in place, yet existing survey measures vary widely and suffer from a lack of standardisation. We review self‐report measures about motives for immobility or constraints to moving—measured with survey items asking what made it difficult for respondents to relocate—in ten existing surveys. We report several advantages and disadvantages of different ap…
Moving and staying in the context of the family
We review the literature on the role of geographically nearby and distant family in moving and staying. We also introduce papers in the Special Issue ‘Moving and Staying in the Context of the Family’
Life events, social conditions and residential mobility among older adults
This study explores whether and how social conditions—ties to kin and friends as well as loneliness—are related to older adults' residential mobility, in general, and in combination with a late‐life event, specifically. Drawing on panel data from the US Health and Retirement Study ( N = 9107), logistic regression models examine whether older adult moves are triggered by life events (retirement, widowhood and health deterioration) and loneliness, …
Internal migration following adverse life events
There are well-documented associations between life course changes and migration; yet, the occurrence, order, and timing of reasons for migrating are growing increasingly diverse. Migration following adverse life events, such as a divorce or an involuntary job loss, may be qualitatively distinct from migration undertaken for other reasons. Moves, especially long-distance moves, following adverse life events, may be defined more by seeking family …
Adult children's gender, number and proximity and older parents’ moves to institutions
Older people's ability to thrive independently of their adult children is an important feature of a universalistic welfare system. However, population ageing puts this notion under stress. In separate multinomial logistic regression models for older men and women, we examined whether adult children's gender, number and proximity were associated with older parents’ relocations into residential care facilities, and whether the effects of these chil…
Geographic proximity to siblings in older adulthood
Background : Research on older adults' geographic proximity to their family has focused almost exclusively on intergenerational distances, while factors associated with intragenerational proximity have received little attention. Objective : We explore associations between (1) having at least one sibling nearby and characteristics of older adults (aged 65‒84), and (2) proximity to siblings and characteristics of dyads of siblings. Methods : Drawin…
Migration for co‐residence among long‐distance couples
When long‐distance couples start living together, the decision about where to co‐reside has important repercussions, as long‐distance moves often lead to the loss of local ties. Drawing on Danish population register data on long‐distance opposite‐sex couples and cross‐classified multi‐level statistical analyses, we explore each partner's share in the total distance moved at the start of their co‐residence. We examine the influence of local ties t…
Family and Friends Living Nearby, Neighborhood Satisfaction, and Residential Mobility
This study draws on panel data from the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey ( N = 1,128) to examine whether and how family and friends living close-by are associated with individuals’ interneighborhood residential mobility. Additional analyses tap into why individuals’ proportion of nearby kin and friends are linked to their mobility. The results suggest that individuals’ perceptions of their neighborhood are patterned by whether or not th…
Older Adults’ Internal Migration Toward Faraway Siblings
As declines in fertility broadly reflect people's decisions to have fewer children or forego having families, siblings might emerge as more active players in the family networks of older adults. Our research indicates that siblings can be a destination for migration and, therefore, should be considered as important members of social networks of older adults, especially those who do not have partners and/or adult children available
The Role of Family and Friends in Return Migration and Its Labor Market Outcomes
Drawing on survey data on individuals’ motives for migration in Sweden ( N = 2172), we examine the importance of family and friends for return versus onward migration, including their importance for different age groups and in different communities on the rural–urban spectrum. The results point to a significant relationship between the importance of family and return versus onward migration, with family importance decreasing with age among return…
Measuring migration motives with open‐ended survey data
Motives for migration are difficult to measure. Open-ended data collection can be an attractive option, but also comes with pitfalls. We use the "Motives for Migration" survey on internal migration in Sweden to identify some of these pitfalls. We identify five categories of methodological issues: how the respondents-and we-dealt with multiple motives for migration; who the motive pertained to (i.e., the respondents themselves or someone else in t…
Sexual Practices and Satisfaction among Gay and Heterosexual Men in Romantic Relationships
Gay men are underrepresented in research on sexual satisfaction. We examined sexual satisfaction and over 50 sexual practices in an online U.S. national survey of men in relationships. Coarsened exact matching created comparable samples of heterosexual ( n = 3527) and gay ( n = 452) men on six demographic factors, including relationship length. Results identified many similarities between the groups, including sexual frequency, orgasm frequency, …

Migration for family and labour market outcomes in Sweden
Using information on stated motives for migrating among working-age individuals in the 2007 Swedish Motives for Migration survey (N = 1,852), we use multinomial logistic regression to examine whether and how moves for family reasons are linked to labour market outcomes in ways that differ from migration initiated for other motives, including more overtly labour-related factors. The results indicate that family-based migration is associated with w…
Intergenerational solidarity, proximity to parents when moving to independence, and returns to the parental home
Research on leaving home among young adults has mainly focused on the timing of departures rather than the distance that young adults move when they leave the parental home and establish independent households. We draw on data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) Transition to Adulthood Supplement (TAS) (2005–2015) and the Geospatial Match Files to examine the relationship between intergenerational solidarity and the distance of young a…
Geographic mobility among older people and their adult children
This research examines the relationship between older parents' health issues and (i) their relocations closer to their faraway adult children, (ii) their relocations into institutionalised care facilities, or (iii) having distant children move closer. Additionally, we investigate how these relocations are structured by children's gender and location. We focused on parents aged 80 years and older and their distant children. Multinomial logistic re…
Timing of Departure From the Parental Home
Drawing on immigrant adaptation and life course perspectives, this study explores reasons for differences in the timing of young adults’ departure from the parental home. We extend existing research by examining: (a) associations between home-leaving, and immigrant generation and parental region of origin, and (b) the role of parental language use in the home as a moderator of these associations. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey o…
Adolescent Intergenerational Relationship Dynamics and Leaving and Returning to the Parental Home
ObjectiveDrawing on the life course perspective and theoretical models of intergenerational solidarity, this research explores how adolescent-parent relationships (i.e., parent-child closeness, parental attentiveness, family routines, and parenting styles) are associated with young adults' transitions to adulthood.BackgroundThe study adds to the growing literature on adolescents' leaving and returning to the parental home by focusing on parent-ch…
Nonresident family as a motive for migration
A great deal of research has focused on employment and educational reasons for migration. Recent research has also begun to explore social motives. However, we still know very little about the role of nonresident family for moving, especially over long dis
Perceived reliability of assistance among American older adults
As a neglected dimension of the quality of care, assessments of caregiver reliability by older adults receiving help contributes to the better understanding of unmet needs for assistance in everyday life. This study examines how the numbers and composition of helpers – both potential and actual – relate to older Americans’ reports of the reliability of assistance. According to the 2008 US National Elder Mistreatment Study ( n = 2,176), the potent…
Variations in migration motives over distance
It is often assumed that long-distance migration is dominated by employment or educationally led motives and that local-scale mobility is linked to family and housing adjustments. Unfortunately, few empirical studies examining the relationship between moti
What Keeps Passion Alive? Sexual Satisfaction Is Associated With Sexual Communication, Mood Setting, Sexual Variety, Oral Sex, Orgasm, and Sex Frequency in a National U.S. Study
Passion and sexual satisfaction typically diminish in longer-term relationships, but this decline is not inevitable. We identified the attitudes and behaviors that most strongly differentiated sexually satisfied from dissatisfied men and women who had been together for at least three years (N = 38,747). Data were collected in 2006 from cohabiting and married men (M) and women (W) via an online survey on a major national U.S. news Web site. The va…
Acculturation, acculturative stressors, and family relationships among Latina/o immigrants
Results highlight the importance of (a) examining the ways that migration influences multiple aspects of family relationships, (b) adopting a more comprehensive acculturation framework. Particularly novel are our findings on how acculturative stressors are associated with different family outcomes. (PsycINFO Database Record
Social Stratification at the Top Rung
Drawing on 44 in-depth interviews with undergraduates, this research explores whether and how class background matters for students' social experiences at an elite university. The findings reveal that, compared with upper-class students, both lower- and middle-class students are disadvantaged in their social integration due to a lack of resources (time and money) and a mismatch of cultural styles. Middle-class students tend to reference upward to…
Adolescent Intergenerational Cohesiveness and Young Adult Proximity to Mothers
We consider how mother-child cohesion in adolescence relates to geographic proximity in young adulthood. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 ( N = 3,985), ordered probit models the association between adolescents' emotional closeness to mother and subsequent residential distance, controlling for key factors. Young people 'at risk' of living at a distance (i.e., who have left the parental home) may be characterized by poorer relat…
Close adult friendships, gender, and the life cycle
Drawing on 25,185 responses collected via an online news website, our findings extend and update Fischer and Oliker's (1983) classic study on gender and life cycle differences in friendship. We found no substantial gender differences in number of friends people can count on to celebrate birthdays, discuss intimate matters like one's sex life, or depend upon when experiencing trouble late at night ( ds = .04-.20); however, number of friendships va…

Searching for Love in all the “Write” Places
Few researchers of Internet sexual exploration have systematically compared variance of use across sexual orientations, with even fewer surveying bisexual respondents. In 2004, 15,246 individuals responded to an online survey of their use of Internet personals and adult websites. Gay men, lesbians, and bisexuals (GLBs) were more likely than heterosexuals to have exchanged correspondence, met others offline, and had sex with someone they met throu…
