Abstract:

This study explores how perceptions of, and beliefs about, the influence of media coverage of localities affect the desire to move away from these localities. It is argued that regardless of whether people’s perceptions of where they live are really shaped by media coverage, if people believe others are affected by this coverage, they are more likely to consider relocation. We investigated whether the perceived stigmatization of peripheral development towns in Israel has an impact on the desire of their residents to stay or leave, over and above the disaffection with actual living conditions in these communities. Using Structural Equation Modeling (N=472), results showed that believing that others are affected by the media indeed influences both perceptions and behavioral intentions.

In other words a model predicting residential mobility thoughts without perceived town image and all its antecedents was estimated. χ2 for this model was 379.12 with 141 degrees of freedom. Since this model is nested in the model presented in Figure 2
