RE: Show me your home and I tell you who you are... (Home as A Symbol of Identity - Part 1)

in #psychology7 years ago (edited)

As I was thinking of what to write, I looked up and noticed a large patch of missing paint on the wall.

We have an autist 10 year old, and he picks away at things. We have been in our apartment too long, and a change of living space would be welcome.

I find the path to your interest in the subject matter quite interesting in itself. You picked a good one. :)

Have you considered or done any research on how a home changes over time? Does the home change much....say....if there is a large increase in income? Do some elements remain the same despite any kind of changes over time?

Just thinking out loud here. And such a fine post. :)

Thanks a lot! Interesting idea to do a longitudinal research. I guess changes in the home interior are only partly due to changes in income and to functional necessities (like things going wrong), a part of our home either remains untouched or changes as we change in taste, style, behaviour and in person, too.

Thanks for the nice words!
