| External housing-related control beliefs (1–5)b | 2.8 (0.5) | 2.8 (0.7) | – | – |
| ADL independence/dependence (0–9)c | 7.6 (1.5) | 7.8 (1.4) | 7.6 (1.7) | 7.6 (1.5) |
| Life satisfaction (0–10)d | 8.5 (1.7) | 8.5 (1.8) | 8.6 (1.7) | 8.1 (1.9) |
| Positive affect (1–5)e | 3.2 (0.6) | 3.4 (0.7) | 3.1 (0.6) | 3.4 (0.6) |
| Negative affect (1–5)e | 2.0 (0.5) | 2.0 (0.6) | 2.1 (0.5) | 2.0 (0.6) |
| Depression (GDS) (0–15)f | 3.0 (2.3) | 3.2 (2.9) | 3.4 (3.4) | 3.7 (3.0) |
aHigher scores indicate larger magnitude of accessibility problems
bHigher scores indicate stronger external housing-related control beliefs; only assessed at T1
cHigher scores indicate higher ADL independence
dHigher scores indicate higher life satisfaction
eHigher scores indicate higher positive and negative affect
fHigher scores indicate higher depression
