Living and housing: Residential Psychology

  • 3 years ago

The online magazine "Wohnen.de" deals with the topic of living psychology in a guidebook. Numerous studies have already established and examined the connections between the way we live and our personality and come to the following conclusions: Since we freely choose most of the objects in our own household and determine where we place them, they are emblematic of our lives and our personalities. This is because we ourselves decide which mementos or objects we accumulate and display.

Above all, mementos and personal belongings reveal a lot about the characteristics of the occupants. For example, people who like to decorate their living space with photos and old diaries or diaries often like to deal with their own personality and have a personality structure characterized by thoughtfulness. A sense of superiority wants to radiate people who are in possession of expensive or rare furniture and objects. This form of furnishing often creates a feeling of envy or respect in visitors, which was unconsciously desired by the choice of furnishings.

However, aspects such as purchasing behavior in different age groups also play a role in the psychology of living and furnishings. While students, for example, are content with relatively few furnishings and decorative items due to their limited financial resources, people who have completed their education feel the desire to invest their status in more price-intensive or useful items. Once in a job and earning money, a feeling and desire to make life more beautiful and enjoyable develops. Between the ages of 40 and 50, people experience a relatively large number of unhappy moments. Whether it is due to the loss of parents, a divorce, dissatisfaction at work, or coming to terms with age and aging. During this time, people "reward" or "delight" themselves by acquiring a special or expensive object.
