The development of the Privacy Preference Scale, a 56 item five-choice summative scale, is described. Six subscales were constructed from a principal axis factor analysis with unities in the diagonal of an 86 item pool; these focused on preferences for non-involvement with neighbors, seclusion of the home, solitude, privacy with intimates, anonymity, and reserve. The ability of the subscales to differentiate between age and sex groups, and their relationship to personality measures (the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) and to self-reported privacy oriented behavior are presented.
This article ascertains dimensions of welfare migration to and from two large Australian cities (Sydney and Adelaide) and persons' motivations and perceptions of well-being after moving. Housing costs were crucial in out-movement from metropolitan areas, particularly Sydney. The desire to obtain work and to be closer to family members was important for an appreciable proportion of metropolitan-ward movers. Respondents were not turnover migrants since a strong majority had lived in their origin community for over five years. The welfare migration investigated here is an important part of wider intra-state migration.
