ABSTRACT

Personal construct theory is a cognitive theory of personality that provides a theoretical and methodological framework for examining four major research issues in the behavioral approach to residential choice. The theory elucidates the content and structure of residential cognition at the level of the individual. The family life cycle influences cognition, but residential experience is not related. The evidence shows that knowledge of cognition adds to our understanding of residential mobility decisions.
