- Abstract
This paper contrasts high and low-density residential and functional environments through an assessment of the pleasure and arousal said environments elicit. The reladonships between these affective dimensions and a measure of emodonal well-being and personality traits are also explored. Two hundred thirty-eight university students assessed the degree of pleasure and arousal elicited by a series of images depicting high and lowdensity residential and functional environments. The findings clearly reveal that residential environments produce more pleasurable feelings than functional spaces, regardless of their density. However, as regards arousal, the feelings produced by residential and functional environments vary on depending on their density. It concludes that residential environments are more adaptable environments in terms of emodonal well-being.
