Satisfaction with Housing and Quality of Life
Tóm tắt
The purposes of this study were: (1) to analyze the contribution of housing sat isfaction as one of 13 life domain satisfactions to overall satisfaction with quality of life and (2) to analyze the relationship of housing satisfaction with housing characteristics and socio‐demographic characteristics of respondents. The sample was a proportional, stratified, random sample of 2,700 Oklahoma households. Findings indicated that an increase in housing satisfaction was accompanied by a significant increase in overall life satisfaction. Higher levels of housing satis faction were associated with higher neighborhood satisfaction, better structural quality, ownership, lower person‐per‐room ratios, more years in residence, and lower perceived housing cost. It was concluded that: (1) housing satisfaction does contribute to overall life satisfaction, and (2) housing satisfaction is related to neighborhood satisfaction and characteristics of the dwelling unit.
