Territorial capital and place attachment: A psychological approach of rural out-migration
该研究从心理学角度开发并验证了一个衡量农村居民对领土资本感知的量表，发现感知到的领土资本显著影响行为控制、地方依恋和预期后悔，为理解农村人口外迁提供了新视角。
The current study contributes to the rich literature on territorial attractiveness and territorial capital by adopting a psychological approach, developing, and then validating a territorial capital scale that measures people's beliefs and behavioural intentions (i.e. to leave or stay in a rural area). Following a qualitative phase (n = 40), a quantitative survey was conducted in two rural regions of Cameroon (n = 400). Factor analysis revealed a multidimensional construct of perceived territorial capital consisting of six factors. The authors used the Theory of Planned Behaviour to validate the scale. The results show that perceived territorial capital significantly influences perceived behavioural control (PBC), place attachment (PA) and anticipated regrets (AR). This research contributes to rural development policies.
