“…Nevertheless, current findings tended to suggest that social capital is a stronger predictor of success in more mobile regions, which was consistent with Oishi et al (2013)'s work, in which they found that expanding social network is a more important mission in mobile societies. The current research further suggests that the motivation of expanding social network may be due to the greater positive influence of social capital in more mobile societies.…”

“…For example, people living in more mobile societies tend to have greater motivation of expanding their social networks (Lun et al 2012;Oishi et al 2013), disclose more with their close friends (Schug et al 2010), and take more risks in social interactions (Li et al 2015) than those living in less mobile societies (Oishi 2010, for a review of mobility research in psychology).…”

“…Despite that fact that high residential mobility makes people more willing to dissolve social ties (indirectly), humans need meaningful social connections. Due to the unique challenges in mobile contexts, people living there were more motivated to strengthen their social relationships (Schug et al 2010) and expand their social relationships (Oishi et al 2013) in order to secure their social life.…”

“…In mobile contexts, people secured with more social capital enjoy the associated benefits while others are still struggling for reducing their anticipated loneliness by keeping their social ties (Oishi et al 2013), which makes people secured with social capital easier stand out for success with reliable stable resources (both mental support and practical support) provided by social capital. In contrast, the variation in the benefits brought by social capital may be minimized due to the stability of social ties in less mobile contexts.…”

To understand the influence of social capital (the size of local supportive networks and generalized trust) in facilitating success across societies varying in residential mobility, the data of 16,253 participants from 29 provinces/municipalities in China were examined. For the role of local supportive networks, the results showed that people with more social capital were better off (in terms of current income, social mobility from 5 years ago and social mobility from teenage) than those with less social capital in more residentially mobile societies whereas social capital was a weaker predictor of success in less residentially mobile societies. For generalized trust, the results showed that the positive role of generalized trust in promoting success was less sensitive to the influence of societal residential mobility. These findings suggest that expansion of local supportive networks may be more important in facilitating success in more residentially mobile societies than in less residentially mobile societies.

“…Indeed, people in an individualistic culture actively construct and maintain interpersonal relationships. For example, European Americans explicitly seek social support more than Asians (Kim, Sherman, Ko, & Taylor., 2006) and are active in seeking new interpersonal relationships (Oishi et al, 2013). However, Japanese with high individualistic tendency might not apply such interpersonal strategies.…”

In recent years, we have witnessed a resurgent focus on ecological features, especially various forms of mobility that afford social psychological processes. Extending this work, the current research examined whether relational mobility affects risk propensity. We conducted three studies using both correlational (Studies 1 and 3) and experimental (Study 2) methods. Results provide support for the hypothesis that perceptions of relational mobility are associated with risk propensity in the domain of interpersonal behaviors but not other risk domains (health, financial, etc.). Findings in Study 3 suggested that the association between relational mobility and propensity for risky interpersonal behaviors may stem from the effect of relational mobility in lowering subjective risk (but not in increasing expected benefits) of such behaviors.Note: Adjusted mean and standard error for risk-taking propensity are reported. Different subscripts within each row indicate a significant difference between the conditions at p < .05.Note: The condition difference for each item was analyzed controlling for risk-taking propensity for all other items. Adjusted mean and standard error are reported. df, degree of freedom.Relational Mobility and Risk Propensity L. M. W. Li et al.
