“…That the quality of the physical environment could influence the emotional process was first demonstrated by Maslow and Mintz in 1956, even if their results have been difficult to replicate (Wilmot, 1990). Mehrabian and Russell (1974) summarized a number of studies showing that the social setting, and also the spatial arrangement, may influence not only the assessment process but also the affiliative and hostility behavior of the subjects.…”

This study examined the influence of different environmental features at nine daycare centers on 74 children's (42 boys and 32 girls) emotions in relation to their individual traits. The environments were predominantly assessed by semantic scales, and the children's emotions using a structured observational technique. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that the activation level as well as the control of the behavior were related to the individual traits of the children, whereas the directedness and the hedonic tone of the behavior were related to the environment and the situation (meal or free play). Of special interest is the result that extrovert children displayed higher levels of control than the more introvert children. The most important quality of the physical daycare environment was unity, whereas intensity and familiarity were to most salient qualities of the social environment.
