“…Although recent research shows that housing and neighbourhood dissatisfaction increases the propensity for individuals and households to make residential moves (e.g. Diaz‐Serrano and Stoyanova, ; Rabe and Taylor, ), this effect appears to be mediated by moving desires and expectations (Landale and Guest, ; Lee et al , ). After controlling for satisfaction, we also find some evidence of a gender effect, as men are more likely to act upon their desires in the event of a disagreement than women.…”

Most studies of residential mobility decision‐making focus on the housing and neighbourhood satisfaction and pre‐move thoughts of individuals. This implicitly assumes that individual evaluations represent the wider household unit. However, if partners in a couple do not share evaluations of dwelling or neighbourhood quality or do not agree on whether moving is (un)desirable, ignoring these disagreements will lead to an inaccurate assessment of the strength of the links between moving desires and actual moves. Although overlooked in studies of residential mobility, partner disagreement plays an important role in the literature on family migration. This study is, therefore, one of the first to investigate disagreements in moving desires between partners and the subsequent consequences of such disagreements for moving behaviour. Drawing on British Household Panel Survey data and concepts from family migration studies, we find that disagreement about the desirability of moving is most likely where partners do not share perceptions of housing stress. Panel logistic regression models show that the moving desires of both partners interact to affect the moving behaviour of couples. Only 7.6% of couples move if only the man desires to move, whereas 20.1% of shared moving desires lead to a subsequent move. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Most research on housing satisfaction has focused on its relationships with the occurrence of one particular outcome, namely residential mobility (Diaz-Serrano & Stoyanova 2010;Nakazato et al 2011). Only a handful of studies have been devoted to exploring the predictors of housing satisfaction, and these are often of a rather descriptive nature.…”

“…In Baker, Cook, and Norris' (2003) study of 110 women who left an abusive relationship in the past three years, 38% experienced homelessness after separation and 25% relocated during the first year. In the housing literature, the most significant predictor of moving propensity (i.e., relocation) and housing instability is housing satisfaction (Diaz-Serrano & Stoyanova, 2010;Lee, Oropesa, & Kana, 1994). Satisfaction with housing is affected by quality of housing, housing price (Elsinga & Hoekstra, 2005), and the existence of social networks (Varady & Preiser, 1998) and has been found to impact individual well-being (Diener & Biswas-Diener, 2002), happiness (Van Praag, Frijters, & Ferrer-i-Carbonell, 2003), and quality of life (Djebarni & Al-Abed, 2000).…”

In this study, the extent to which nine indicators of intrusion (i.e., unwanted interference in everyday life) predicted the odds of women maintaining separation from an abusive partner was examined using data from a community sample of 286 Canadian women. Higher levels of depression and PTSD symptoms significantly and independently increased women's risk of being unable to maintain separation from a former or new abusive partner over a 12-month period (Odds Ratios 4.6 and 2.7, respectively). These finding underscore the importance of supporting women to identify and manage mental health problems as a means of enhancing their safety.
