“…Amplifying the problem of not seeking support are findings that high urban density limits social interaction, resulting in increased stress and negative psychological, cognitive and behavioural outcomes. 99–103 The study of social interaction in the built environment is challenging due to confounding or moderating variables that include socioeconomic status, marital status, ethnicity, gender, family status and geographical location of the high-rise buildings.…”

Global urbanization, combined with evidence of increased prevalence of mental illness in urban environments, highlights a need to investigate potential connections between the built environment and mental health. Previous research has shown that the built environment may impact occupant mental health through its effects on connection to nature, personal control and indoor air quality. Contact with the natural environment has physiological and psychological benefits; consequently, reduced contact or exposure leads to negative mental health outcomes. The control an occupant has in the built environment can alter the mental health of individuals through direct pathways, such as prevention of exposures to environmental stressors and indirect pathways, such as social connections to others. Indoor air quality is connected to the mental health of built environment occupants, as particulate matter, malodorous irritants and toxins have all been shown to alter mental well-being. Opportunities for architects and engineers to optimize building designs that improve occupant mental health include planned urban greenspace, personalized temperature control and building ventilation. To understand optimization targets, interdisciplinary research utilizing controlled experiments are needed to confirm causality and improve our current understanding of mechanisms underlying the association between the built environment and mental health.

“…In classrooms where the mean level of externalizing behavior problems are high—a context in which there is likely more chaos due to a high rate of disruptive behaviors in the classroom environment—teachers report less TSR closeness and more conflict (Buyse, Verschueren, Doumen, Van Damme, & Maes, 2008). Similarly, the lack of structure and crowding in chaotic classrooms may be stressful with fewer opportunities for fun and engaging learning activities leaving children feeling less enthusiastic about school (Loo & Smetana, 1978). …”

Guided by the person by environment framework, the primary goal of this study was to determine whether classroom chaos moderated the relation between effortful control and kindergarteners’ school adjustment. Classroom observers reported on children’s (N = 301) effortful control in the fall. In the spring, teachers reported on classroom chaos and school adjustment outcomes (teacher-student relationship closeness and conflict, and school liking and avoidance). Cross-level interactions between effortful control and classroom chaos predicting school adjustment outcomes were assessed. A consistent pattern of interactions between effortful control and classroom chaos indicated that the relations between effortful control and the school adjustment outcomes were strongest in high chaos classrooms. Post-hoc analyses indicated that classroom chaos was associated with poor school adjustment when effortful control was low, suggesting that the combination of high chaos and low effortful control was associated with the poorest school outcomes.

“…The use of controlled observational techniques in applied situations to assess relationships between behaviour and social/spatial variations can be viewed as one way to enhance the ecological validity of density research (Baum & Valins, 1977;Loo & Smetand, 1977;Wolfe, 1975). On the other hand, issues such as observer bias and uncontrollable subject variance can restrict the interpretability of research data.…”

Psychological interest in crowding has tended to focus on density-related phenomena and their experiential attributes. A synopsis of psychological models and methods is presented, followed by an overview of diverse research interests with relevance to high density situations. The review is organized around personal, social and physical characteristics. Finally it is argued that an ecological analysis of density distributions would involve recognition of temporal, social and physical dimensions, and its relation with the individual's subjective experiences of density conditions. S. Afr. J. Psychol. 1983, 13: 128 -134 Belangstelling vanuit die sielkunde ten opsigte van oorbesettingsdruk beklemtoon die meervoudige verbande tussen digtheidsfaktore en die ervaringskwaliteite wat daaraan gekoppel word. 'n Opsomming van relevante sielkundige mode lie en metodes word verskaf. Oit word opgevolg deur 'n oorsig van huidige navorsingsbelangstellings met konseptuele belang betreffende hoe digtheidsituasies. Die digtheidsliteratuur word bespreek in terme van individuele, sosiale en fisiese karakteristieke. Ten slotte word die standpunt gehuldig dat die erkenning van temporaal, sosiaal en fisiese dimensies asook die verbande wat daardeur gevorm word met die individu se subjektiewe ervarings van menslike digtheidstoestande, 'n beslag vind binne 'n ekologiese perspektief van digtheidsverdelings.
