Abstract
Conducted a field survey of residents of a university trailer park to distinguish between the effects associated with group size and effects associated with social stimulation. The S sample consisted of 58 university students who were asked to rate their living space and their satisfaction with various aspects of trailer living. The results show that with total area fixed, the numbers of occupants per unit accounted for greater variance in living space ratings than did degree of privacy, and time and personal attributes accounted for few differences in satisfaction. Results also support the distinction between the psychological experience of crowding and the conditions that induce it. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
