| Abstract |
Adolescents are in an emotionally sensitive state. They must maintain psychological health and establish an ego identity. The personal space in house should be planned for their preferences. Thus, this study classified the personal space style of adolescents and analyzed their preference. As a result, the following conclusions were drawn. First, adolescent's personal space style is divided into 6 types as modern, romantic, casual, industrial, funky, and natural style. The modern style was straightforward and simple. And a restrained atmosphere was produced. The romantic style is made of curvaceous decor, with bright colors and a cozy atmosphere. In the casual style, primary colors were used in walls, fabrics, etc. and the ambience was lively. The industrial style consisted of metalwork, brick, etc. throughout the room, and a vintage atmosphere was also created. In the funky style, the graffiti was drawn on the walls and small items, and the atmosphere was informal and free. The natural style was mostly used in furniture and floor, and the soft colors such as white, oak, and beige color were mainly used. Second, the interest of the adolescents in the personal space style was generally high, and there were significant differences according to gender and grade. As for gender, female students showed more interest than boys, and elementary school students showed higher interest than middle school students. Third, the personal space style preference of adolescents showed a high preference in modern and natural style, and there was a significant difference between each style and gender. Especially, boys showed higher preference than girls in casual and funky style, and girls showed higher preference than boys in romantic and natural style. On the other hand, it was found that there was no significant difference in preference between styles according to the grade. Therefore, the style preference between elementary school students and middle school students was not significantly different. |
