Material Attributes of Personal Living Spaces
We introduce the concept of Personal Living Space (PLS). More than a bedroom but less than a house, PLSs typically nestle within larger residential settings, affording primary territory for a designated individual. Common examples include rooms in family households, dormitories, or residential centers. We document modal portraits of one particular form of PLS, providing a snapshot at the cusp of the twenty-first century of the material residue found in North American college students' accommodations. Next, we marshal an environmental psychological approach to explore the meanings conveyed by the attributes and item contents of PLSs, focusing on three personal characteristics of residents: gender, ethnicity, and personality. This analysis is guided by residue theory in personality psychology and the interpretation of instrumental (or use) meaning in the study of material culture.
