It should not be implied, of course, that the general model to account for residential mobility developed in this article has adequate empirical foundation. The relevant studies to date have differed sufficiently in general purposes, in populations studied, and in methodological detail to make it possible that the differences in their findings are artifacts thereof. Yet a theoretical scheme including both life-cycle and career pattern variables is in accord with the general complexity of social relationships and threatens the integrity of neither Rossi's analysis nor the present study. Further, consideration of complaints as immediate pre-condition for mobility places independent, intervening, and dependent variables in the potentially most fruitful relation to one another.
