The psychology of Residential Mobility: a decade of progress
Current opinion in psychology, 2019Co-Authors: Hyewon Choi, Shigehiro OishiAbstract:Residential Mobility has become a common experience for people in most parts of the world. As the number of people moving to different cities, states, and countries increases, it is critical to understand how this Residential Mobility affects one’s thoughts, emotions, and actions. Psychological research on Residential Mobility over a decade is such an endeavor. We briefly summarize the earlier research in psychology that demonstrated the importance of Residential Mobility in understanding important psychological constructs such as self-concepts, social relationships, and well-being. We then review recent evidence in psychology and relevant fields that replicated and extended the earlier research. We discuss what is missing in the current literature and what additional research is needed in the future.

Is Happiness a Moving Target? The Relationship Between Residential Mobility and Meaning in Life
The Experience of Meaning in Life, 2013Co-Authors: Casey Eggleston, Shigehiro OishiAbstract:Despite a long tradition of Residential Mobility in the United States and a growing trend of international Mobility, the impact of frequent moving has only recently become a topic of scientific inquiry. The growing body of literature on Residential Mobility has considered how moving impacts well-being, but has not directly examined the role of Residential Mobility in the development and maintenance of meaning in life (MIL). This chapter considers the existing research on Residential Mobility, exploring the links between moving and various outcomes that could significantly impact MIL, including personal identity development, quality of interpersonal relationships, community involvement, and the experience of positive affect. Based on the accumulated evidence, three competing models for the possible relationship between moving and meaning in life are proposed, and the need for empirical research is discussed.

Residential Mobility what psychological research reveals
Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2012Co-Authors: Shigehiro Oishi, Thomas TalhelmAbstract:In this article, we summarize psychological research on Residential Mobility. Psychological research has shed new light on the short-term consequences of Residential moves, such as excitement, anxiety, and loneliness, as well as on long-term consequences, such as subjective well-being and mortality risk in adulthood. Psychological research has also clarified the causal relationships between Residential Mobility and important societal outcomes, such as pro-community action. Finally, recent research integrating psychological and sociological perspectives has led to several new discoveries. For instance, Residential Mobility evokes anxiety, which in turn leads to familiarity seeking, which in turn leads to favorable market conditions for national chain stores. This article highlights the fact that Residential moves have important implications not only for individuals but also for society.

Residential Mobility, Social Support Concerns, and Friendship Strategy
Social Psychological and Personality Science, 2012Co-Authors: Dana Roth, Shigehiro Oishi, Selin KesebirAbstract:The present research examined how Residential Mobility affects the extent to which people compartmentalize friendship activities (i.e., selecting different friends for different activities) and the role of social support concerns in the relationship between Mobility and friendship compartmentalization. Studies 1 and 2 showed that people who had moved frequently while growing up or who were primed to think about moving compartmentalized their friendships more if they valued social support in friendship. Study 3 showed that this effect was driven by concerns over social support availability. The findings suggest that Residential Mobility changes friendship structure in ways that satisfy individuals’ expectations of friendship.

Residential Mobility moderates preferences for egalitarian versus loyal helpers
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 2012Co-Authors: Shigehiro Oishi, Elizabeth R. TenneyAbstract:Abstract The present research examines whether the experience and the expectation of Residential Mobility related to the type of helpers whom people wanted to befriend and work with. We predicted and found that people who moved more frequently before college (Studies 1 and 2) preferred those who were likely to extend a helpful hand to those outside their immediate social circles. By contrast, people who had not moved preferred those who prioritized helping in-group members over strangers. Study 3 tested the hypothesis by priming the expectation of Residential Mobility versus stability and replicated the findings with Residential Mobility but did not find difference in the stability condition. These results suggest that Residential Mobility does not merely change people's living environments but also affects interpersonal preferences and with whom people would like to associate.

the ecological and evolutionary energetics of hunter gatherer Residential Mobility
Evolutionary Anthropology, 2016Co-Authors: Marcus J Hamilton, Jose Lobo, Eric Rupley, Hyejin Youn, Geoffrey B WestAbstract:Residential Mobility is a key aspect of hunter-gatherer foraging economies and therefore is an issue of central importance in hunter-gatherer studies.[1-7] Hunter-gatherers vary widely in annual rates of Residential Mobility. Understanding the sources of this variation has long been of interest to anthropologists and archeologists. The vast majority of hunter-gatherers who are dependent on terrestrial plants and animals move camp multiple times a year because local foraging patches become depleted and food, material, and social resources are heterogeneously distributed through time and space. In some environments, particularly along coasts, where resources are abundant and predictable, hunter-gatherers often become effectively sedentary. But even in these special cases, a central question is how these societies have maintained viable foraging economies while reducing Residential Mobility to near zero.

the ecological and evolutionary energetics of hunter gatherer Residential Mobility
arXiv: Physics and Society, 2016Co-Authors: Marcus J Hamilton, Jose Lobo, Eric Rupley, Hyejin Youn, Geoffrey B WestAbstract:Residential Mobility is deeply entangled with all aspects of hunter-gatherer life ways, and is therefore an issue of central importance in hunter-gatherer studies. Hunter-gatherers vary widely in annual rates of Residential Mobility, and understanding the sources of this variation has long been of interest to anthropologists and archaeologists. Since Mobility is, to a large extent, driven by the need for a continuous supply of food, a natural framework for addressing this question is provided by the metabolic theory of ecology. This provides a powerful framework for formulating formal testable hypotheses concerning evolutionary and ecological constraints on the scale and variation of hunter-gatherer Residential Mobility. We evaluate these predictions using extant data and show strong support for the hypotheses. We show that the overall scale of hunter-gatherer Residential Mobility is predicted by average human body size, and the limited capacity of mobile hunter-gatherers to store energy internally. We then show that the majority of variation in Residential Mobility observed across cultures is predicted by energy availability in local ecosystems. Our results demonstrate that large-scale evolutionary and ecological processes, common to all plants and animals, constrain hunter-gatherers in predictable ways as they move through territories to effectively exploit resources over the course of a year. Moreover, our results extend the scope of the metabolic theory of ecology by showing how it successfully predicts variation in the behavioral ecology of populations within a species.
