Abstract
This study examined the relationship between the personality trait of social participation and the interior design of subjects' home entertainment areas. In all, 50 men and 41 women enrolled in an MBA Program completed the Social Participation scale from the Jackson Personality Inventory and drew a diagram of their home entertainment areas. Correlations were calculated between Social Participation scores and the number of seats per square foot in the entertainment area (r = .24, p < .05) and Social Participation scores and ratio of chairs to seats in the entertainment area (r = -.23, p < .05). Female respondents showed a significantly stronger r = -.39 than males r = -.06. These general results are interpreted as supporting behavior-setting theory as a mediator in the personality-situation controversy.
