Abstract
This paper addresses personality psychological determinants of migration behaviour. Using pooled data of two related probability samples (GERPS and SOEP), we examined the association between the Big Five personality traits and the propensity to become internationally mobile. Relying on advanced pre-processing methods that control for key socio-demographic and economic determinants, our results show that migration propensity was significantly related to three of the Big Five personality traits. Moreover, we found gender-specific and cultural differences (based on the language spoken in the destination country) in these relation for some of the Big Five dimensions. These results help to elucidate the process of a migration decision using a personality-psychological perspective.
期刊介绍：
Population, Space and Place aims to be the leading English-language research journal in the field of geographical population studies. It intends to: - Inform population researchers of the best theoretical and empirical research on topics related to population, space and place - Promote and further enhance the international standing of population research through the exchange of views on what constitutes best research practice - Facilitate debate on issues of policy relevance and encourage the widest possible discussion and dissemination of the applications of research on populations - Review and evaluate the significance of recent research findings and provide an international platform where researchers can discuss the future course of population research
