| الوصف: | The current debate on demographic change often revolves around seniors (over 65-years-old), their housing preferences, and their spatial mobility. Our study contributes to this discussion by examining how seniors make evaluations concerning retirement homes guided by concepts such as functional congruity, self-congruity, and lifestyle congruity. An experimental study was conducted involving 325 Austrian and 546 French seniors (60+). The results were supportive of the hypotheses that seniors evaluate retirement homes positively when they (1) perceive the retirement home to have high service quality (high functional congruity), (2) identify with the occupant residents (high self-congruity), (3) believe that living in the retirement home is consistent with their own lifestyle (high lifestyle congruity), and (4) anticipate feeling satisfied with their social life, leisure life, health, love life, and life overall (high anticipated life satisfaction). |
