There is now a substantial body of research which examines the process of making decisions about moving. The questions of interest in that work and in this study using US data are, first, how do life course changes get translated into intentions to move, and second, to what extent are intentions realized or unrealized. This study extends previous work by considering a longer interval in the planning process, and by examining how life cycle changes create intentions, which in turn are translated, or not, into actual moves. We study the antecedents of the expressed intention to move and the outcomes which follow the expressed intention to move. We test the process of forming intentions and moving in the context of life course events and changes. We find that the subset of variables which create the intention to move vary subtly from the variables which create moves, though the triggering effects of family composition change are critical dimensions of both creating intentions and fulfilling those intentions by moving.
现在有大量研究探讨了做出迁移决策的过程。该领域以及本项使用美国数据的研究中所关注的问题，其一，人生历程的变化是如何转化为迁移意图的；其二，这些意图在多大程度上得以实现或未实现。本研究通过考虑规划过程中更长的时间间隔，并考察生命周期变化如何产生意图，进而这些意图是否转化为实际迁移，对先前的研究进行了拓展。我们研究了表达迁移意图的前因以及表达迁移意图之后的结果。我们在人生历程事件和变化的背景下测试形成意图和迁移的过程。我们发现，产生迁移意图的变量子集与导致迁移的变量略有不同，尽管家庭构成变化的触发效应是产生意图和通过迁移实现这些意图的关键维度。
