Residential Satisfaction and Friendship Formation in High- and Low-Rise Student Housing: An Interactional Analysis
Holahan, Charles J.; Wilcox, Brian L.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 70, 2, 237-41, Apr 78
An analysis of the interaction between social competence and type of environment showed that residents of low-rise dormitories were significantly more satisfied and established more dormitory-based friendships than residents of a high-rise mega-dorm setting. A number of interactions were found between social competence, type of environment, and sex of the student. (Author/JAC)
