Psychological home and well being

In the scientific literature it has been emphasised the importance of the quality of the relationship with residential environments and community contexts in enhancing several health and well being outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between “Psychological Home”, Residential Attachment, Sense of Community and the impact of these variables on individuals’ subjective well being. The sample included 251 Italian adults. Results indicate that “Psychological Home” is higher among women, in participants who own their house and who live in single houses. “Psychological Home” is positively correlated with Sense of Community and both variables positively predict Life Satisfaction.
