“…Beyond just solitude, different types of privacy (e.g., intimacy, anonymity) may be achieved in different types of territories. For example, when seeking intimacy with another person, individuals prefer to do so in a primary territory, such as their home, but when they want to be alone, they are actually more likely to prefer temporary public territories, such as a secluded public park (Taylor & Ferguson, 1980). Finally, the inherent nature of a territory may itself facilitate restoration as a product of its relationship with the resident.…”

Recent trends in social psychology point to increased interest in extending current theories by better incorporating the body (e.g., embodied cognition) and the broader interpersonal context (e.g., situations). However, despite being a critical component in early social theorizing, the physical environment remains in large part underdeveloped in most research programs. In this article, I outline an ecological framework for understanding the person–environment relationship. After introducing this perspective, I describe how this approach helps reveal the critical role played by the physical environment in a variety of social processes, including childhood development, interpersonal relationships, and social identity. Finally, I review a topic in environmental psychology that has received little attention among social psychologists: territories. I provide an ecological perspective on how the design, use, and personalization of this type of environment guide and constrain regulatory processes involving social behavior, identity expression, and emotional experience.

“…These included the use of auditory screens, headphones, closed doors, and staggered time use. Taylor and Fergusson (1980) found that students sought solitude as another strategy for achieving privacy. He showed that students who had shared accommodation were more likely to seek solitude than were those in single rooms.…”

This article examines coping strategies used by students in high-density living. It uses the questionnaire survey method in 20 university halls-of-residence in southwestern Nigeria. The study focused on students’ cognitive responses to the bedroom, the coping strategies that they used, gender differences in coping styles, and the influence of their length of stay. The results showed that the respondents perceived living conditions as stressful and that they used nine coping strategies to various degrees. The types of strategies used were related to their responses and to their perceived alternatives. The major coping strategies used were studying away from the room and decorating personal space. Females appeared to make more use of territorial strategies whereas males appeared to use withdrawal strategies more often. Length of stay did not appear to be important except with respect to studying and entertaining friends. Finally, territorial defining strategies were shown to be critical in this high-density situation.

“…Бројни истраживачи који су се ангажовали на расветљавању coliving феномена усмерили су своја интересовања на анализирање: а) сличности и разлика између термина coliving и cohousing (Vestbro & Horelli, 2012:315;Vestbro, 2010:29;Hoppenbrouwer, 2019:6); б) мотива који подстичу формирање coliving заједница (Pagh, Williams, Braskov, Christensen, 2018); в) концепата заједничког живота за студенте, старије особе или лица са посебним потребама (Spencer, Banerji, 1985;Thomsen, 2008;Bamford, 2005Bamford, , 2004Hudson, 2017;Mathisen, Kofod-Petersen, Olalde, 2012); г) регионалних карактеристика coliving заједница (Ache, Fedrowitz, 2012) и др. Велики број научних радова је посвећен истраживању аспеката приватности и територијалности у животном простору, од којих су за ову тему од извесног значаја студије о психолошким и социолошким аспектима дељених животних простора попут студентског становања (Altman, 1975;Mercer, Benjamin, 1979;Taylor, Fergusson, 1980).

Термини coliving и cohousing ће у недостатку српског еквивалента у даљем тексту бити коришћени у изворном облику. Префикс co-испред обе речи се најчешће тумачи као скраћени облик термина "сарадња" (collaborative), "комунални" (communal) или "заједнички" (collective), у зависности од контекста у коме се термин примењује (Vestbro & Horelli, 2012:315).
