| Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to empirically validate the IIPS (Interior Image Preference Scale), which is a newly developed visual instrument for evaluating the environmental disposition inherent to individuals, especially one's interior image preferences. The questionnaire survey was used. The data were collected from Oct. 10th, 1997 to Nov. 14th, 1997. The subjects were 399 undergraduate students and 30 professors of Dept. of Interior Design. With respect to content validity and construct validity of IIPS, discrimination and similarity structure of scales and characteristics of 12 prototype interior images were examined in comparison with the originals. 429 questionnaires were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, and Multi-Dimensional Scales.
The major results were as follows. (1) All 80 items of IIPS were discriminated by 3 criteria such as Traditionalism·Modernity (TM), Masculinity·Femininity (MF) and Simplicity·Complexity (SC) as expected at the time of the instrument developmental stage. (2) 12 prototype interior images of the IIPS showed tendency to be accord with descriptors to express them in comparison with the originals. (3) All 80 items of IIPS showed a cluster distribution according to the similarity structure of scales. Three subscales of IIPS (e. g., TM, MF and SC) were structured pretty well by those 3 dimensions. This research revealed the IIPS to have content validity and construct validity for evaluating of preference of three properties of interior image in empirical research. The IIPS was found to be potential objective tool to measure the interior image preferences. |
