“…A growing amount of literature shows that sense of place (SOP) attitudes are associated with quality of life (QOL) outcomes (e.g., Brehm, Eisenhauer, & Krannich, ; Joaquim, João, & Pereira, ; Randell, Kitchen, & Williams, ). However, much of the literature has focused on rural and urban residents (e.g., Gattino, De Piccoli, Fassio, & Rollero, ; Tartaglia, 2013; Rollero and Piccoli, ), individuals with severe mental illness (e.g., Marcheschi, Laike, Brunt, Hansson, & Johansson, ), university students (e.g., Scannell & Gifford, ), and older adults (Afshar, Foroughan, Vedadhir, & Tabatabaei, ). Far less empirical research has been carried out to investigate cross‐cultural aspects of SOP attitudes in relation to outcomes of QOL, especially among migrant populations in the West such as the African diasporas.…”
