Abstract

This preliminary study examines the conceptual links among variables employed in Housing Adjustment Theory (Morris and Winter, 1975) and Housing Values (Cutler, 1947; Beyer, Mackesey, and Montgomery, 1955). Two variables--the perception of adequate housing and sociopsychological housing congruence--are added to the five fundamental, sociopsychological aspects cited from previous studies. The framework for a new model is proposed with these new variables. By adding the perceptual boundaries embodied in the new variables to the established models, the new paradigm may offer solutions to inconsistencies in the body of housing research by including the personal value system of the individual or family involved in housing adjustment and adaptation.
