“…Individuals' aspirations and beliefs also play a role in their migration decisions. Individuals with, for example, higher self‐efficacy (Hoppe & Fujishiro, ) or internal locus of control (Caliendo, Cobb‐Clark, Hennecke, & Uhlendorff, ) might be more willing to undertake the necessary preparations required for migration. In this respect, analysis on decision to migrate can be enriched by including individuals' core self‐evaluations, aspirations, and motivations.…”

This paper investigates the relationship between Big Five personality traits and individuals' intentions to migrate in countries that vary in their culture. Using data collected from university students in Germany, we find that extraversion and openness are positively associated with migration intentions, while agreeableness, conscientiousness, and emotional stability negatively relate to migration intentions.Openness positively and extraversion negatively relate to the willingness to move to culturally distant countries after controlling for geographic distance and economic differences between countries. Extravert and conscientious individuals are less likely to prefer linguistically distant countries contrary to agreeable individuals.

“…The role of personality traits in the will to move abroad is highly important because they may draw particular attitudes and behaviors [60], which are elements incorporated into the subjective decision-making process [61] that generate different constraints [62]. The locus of control may play a role in migration decisions [63]. It was stressed that highly self-efficacious individuals present the highest migration intentions and actual migration behavior [64].…”

Comparative Patterns of Migration Intentions: Evidence from Eastern European Students in Economics from Romania and Republic of Moldova

et al. 2019

Based on a survey among students in economics at universities from the Romanian region of Moldova (RoMold) and Republic of Moldova (ReMold), this study explores the influence of familial, background, and individual characteristics on the migration intentions abroad. Both regional models built after using data mining tools and binary logistic regression analysis show a powerful emphasis on our own value recognition, while the other influences indicate clear asymmetric patterns in terms of migration intentions. For RoMold, there is a low level of interpersonal trust, a strong accent on individual liberty and favoritism, a low respect for traditions, and the belief that Orthodoxy could be a migration cause. The paternal occupation and the maternal religiosity matter for their migration plans. For ReMold, the parental migration experience, a low level of parents’ education attainment, and a powerful internal locus of control are considered the main triggers for migrating abroad. For both particular regions, a highly interactive distribution map and two corresponding risk-prediction nomograms provide basic support for replication, fast visual insight, and consistent support for interpretations directly in probabilistic terms. We intend to apply an inductive approach in order to extend the analysis to different types of respondents and geographic areas.

“…7-8) stated "… Because the act of moving from one country to another generally involves risk, temporary hardship, and difficult changes in culture, language, and lifestyle, immigrants tend to be especially ambitious, more willing to take risks, harder working, more open to new ideas, and energetic." Individuals with, e.g., higher self-efficacy (Hoppe and Fujishiro, 2015) or internal locus of control (Caliendo et al, 2015) might be more willing to undertake the necessary preparations required for migration. In this respect, individual heterogeneity in perception of psychic costs can be further elaborated by looking at how individuals' core self-evaluations, aspirations, and motivations influence their evaluation of psychic costs.…”
