Abstract

The environment directly influences the behaviour, experiences, and also the well-being of people. It is not only the outside environment but the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) that also affects the well-being of its residents (Arif et al., 2016). The objective of the present study is to study the relationship between Air Quality Index (AQI), Personality traits, Residential Satisfaction, and quality of life among participants living in Bengaluru, Chennai, and Delhi NCR. A total of 685 residents aged 18-65, living in Bengaluru, Chennai, and Delhi NCR for over 2 years, who responded to the call for participation were selected for the study. Data was collected through online Google forms. Correlation and regression analysis were carried out to understand the strength and direction of the relationship between study variables. SPSS AMOS was used to estimate the measurement model and capture mediation paths. The results present an exploratory model which identifies air quality index and personality traits and their contribution towards the perceptions of residential satisfaction. The study also establishes a link between residential satisfaction and quality of life, the new ecological paradigm, and the dominant social paradigm. The present study highlights the necessity to adopt a pro-environmental approach to improve the quality of life.

空气质量指数、人格特质及其对居住满意度和生活质量的影响：探索性路径分析模型

环境直接影响人们的行为、体验和福祉。影响居民福祉的不仅是外部环境，还有室内环境质量（IEQ）（Arif et al.）本研究旨在研究居住在班加罗尔、钦奈和德里国家首都区的参与者的空气质量指数（AQI）、性格特征、居住满意度和生活质量之间的关系。本研究共选取了 685 名年龄在 18-65 岁、在班加罗尔、钦奈和德里国家首都区居住两年以上、响应号召参与研究的居民。数据通过谷歌在线表格收集。为了解研究变量之间关系的强度和方向，我们进行了相关分析和回归分析。使用 SPSS AMOS 估算测量模型并捕捉中介路径。研究结果提出了一个探索性模型，该模型确定了空气质量指数和个性特征及其对居住满意度感知的贡献。研究还在居住满意度与生活质量、新生态范式和主流社会范式之间建立了联系。本研究强调了采用有利于环境的方法来提高生活质量的必要性。

期刊介绍： Asia, as a whole region, faces severe stress on water availability, primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. However, the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore, there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner. In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to land/use, loss of top soil, water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities. Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water, environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
