  • The use of colours in furnishing apartments and its personality correlates
    Kovačev, Asja Nina
    Man as a cultural being uses colours to form and transform his environment. One of the most important places for the realisation of his creative potential is his home. Therefore the purpose of the ... present study was to ascertain the subjects' possible use of colours in unfurnished and undecorated apartments and its personality correlates. The subjects chose the most appropriate colour(s) for the floor, walls, ceiling, and furniture of seven places (anteroom/corridor, wardrobe, sitting-room, dining-room, kitchen, bath-room with water-closet, bedroom, small room/study, and nursery). After that they listed all the colours they used in the experiment and wrote down all the words they could associate with each colour by meaning. In the end they answered to Cattell's 16 PF Questionnaire. Chi2-test of independence of the use of colours of rooms was calculated for the colours of a certain plane or a piece of furniture for all rooms together and for each room separately. The results were interpreted in accordance with the preliminary hypotheses concerning the contextual and personality determinants of the use of different colours.
