THE PERSONAL LIVING SPACE CUE INVENTORY An Analysis and Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors introduce the Personal Living Space Cue Inventory (PLSCI), designed to document comprehensively features of personal living spaces (PLSs); common examples of PLSs include rooms in family households, dormitories, or residential centers. The article describes the PLSCI’s development and provides evidence for its reliability and sensitivity. Next, the authors employ case-study comparisons to illustrate and evaluate the perspectives provided by global descriptors and specific-content codings. It is concluded that global ratings and specific codings provide complementary yet distinct characterizations of PLSs. 683 ENVIRONMENT AND BEHAVIOR, Vol. 37 No. 5, September 2005 683-705 DOI: 10.1177/0013916504274011 © 2005 Sage Publications
