Abstract

Cohousing communities are characterized by an increased amount of exchanges in social support. Since this circumstance could be attributed to certain characteristics of their inhabitants, the aim of this study was the evaluation of personality traits and trait emotional intelligence. To this purpose, a group difference study was performed in Germany between a sample of residents in cohousing communities (n = 180) and inhabitants of common neighborhoods (n = 104). Significant differences were found that support the idea that residents of cohousing communities have higher levels of well-being and minor levels of detachment and psychoticism, as well as a lower overall score for maladaptive personality traits. We have concluded that further research is needed to examine the possible causal relationships between these findings, and to verify whether living in a cohousing community can operate as a moderator of these traits or if their inhabitants had already bore them before moving into such communities.

共同居住社区:人格特质和特质情商

共同居住社区的特点是社会支持交流的数量增加。由于这种情况可能归因于其居民的某些特征，因此本研究的目的是评估人格特质和特质情商。为此，在德国对共同居住社区的居民(n = 180)和共同居住社区的居民(n = 104)进行了一项群体差异研究。我们发现，显著的差异支持这样的观点，即共同居住社区的居民有更高水平的幸福感，较低水平的超脱和精神病，以及较低的适应不良人格特征总分。我们的结论是，需要进一步的研究来检验这些发现之间可能的因果关系，并验证生活在一个共同居住的社区是否可以作为这些特征的调节者，或者他们的居民在搬进这样的社区之前是否已经厌倦了这些特征。
