Abstract
In this study, 15 stressful elements and 18 supportive elements relating to moving house were identified based on the reports of 69 male and 71 female adolescents and pre‐adolescents. Three primary stress factors and three basic support factors were found. It seems that pre‐adolescent girls represent the group most sensitive to the level of stress and to the amount of received support surrounding a move. Adolescents who move from one city to another report greater stress than do those who move house within the same city.
