Abstract
Two studies explored relations of an individual's ideal home environment with (1) his/her personality or temperament and (2) the prevailing emotional conditions present in his/her everyday work and family life. The PAD Temperament and Emotion Models were used to assess temperament and the emotional impact of everyday work and family life and of the ideal residence. Findings across both studies consistently supported the proposed hypotheses of positive correlations between temperament Pleasantness (Arousability, Dominance) and life-circumstance Pleasure (Arousal, Dominance) on the one hand, and Pleasure (Arousal, Dominance) impact of ideal residence on the other. Thus, (1) temperament variables and (2) prevailing emotional conditions in everyday work and home life related positively to the emotional conditions individuals sought in their ideal residences. Also, across both studies, participants showed strong preferences for residences that would heighten pleasure and dominance, but not arousal, levels.
