abstract = {Based on the transactional and salutogenic perspectives, we explored individual profiles
that integrate psychosocial factors and compositional elements of the built home environment.
Adults with different socio-demographic characteristics completed several self-report measures on
psychological factors (personality traits, self-efficacy, mental health, and happiness) and architectural
elements constituting the ideal home environment. Adopting an individual-centered perspective,
three distinct intra-individual psycho-architectural (person-environment) profiles were found with
different compositional preferences and psychosocial characteristics in terms of functioning, health,
and well-being: endopathic (characterized by higher levels of psychosocial resources and well-being
indicating a highly adapted and successful profile, and architectural preferences corresponding to
their identities and experiences—expression through spaces), assimilative (characterized by average
levels in all regulatory parameters indicating moderately adaptive individuals, and architectural
preferences of spaces created in interactive processes—introjection of spaces), and additive individuals
(characterized by a comparatively dysfunctional, poorer psychosocial profile, and architectural
preferences in line with provoking a restorative effect—change with spaces). An awareness of the
psychosocial features of the users for whom the homes are built can help in designing spaces to
inhabit that are adapted to them for an enhancement of their overall well-being. Therefore, a better
understanding of the interconnections between psychology and architecture will help in designing
healthy spaces.},
