Study of psychological characteristics of migrants and local residents

By Bodanki Anupama Jyotshna

Migration is a major factor in urbanization and social change. It has notable feedback effects on the place of origin as the migrants from rural to urban areas maintain different kinds and degrees of contact. It is necessary to consider migration and settlement as interrelated aspects of social and cultural life of the people. Migration is a shift in the place of residence for some length of time. While it excludes short visits and tours, it includes different types of both voluntary and involuntary movements. In free migration the will of migrants is the decisive element. Free migration, according to Petersen (1966), is always rather small and not all unforced. When a migrant comes to a city, he takes some new ideas and customs such as realizing the usefulness of books, newspapers, television etc. Every time a migrant goes to his village, he takes back with him some urban ideas, such as the discipline of a factory or office, the concept of a job with a fair wage, the advantages of Trade Union organization, ideas on health and hygiene. Thus the migrant is not motivated for himself alone but tries to motivate the rural population by indirectly exposing them to the urban way of life. Andhra University, Visakhapat,
