Real and Ideal Home Representations as Moderators of the Positive Person’s Functioning

Real and ideal home representations as moderators of positive person’s functioning are investigated. The sample consisted of 222 students (177 females, 45 males, Мage = 20,9). The following questionnaires were used: The Functionality of home environment developed by authors, The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) by R. Tennant et al., The Authenticity scale by A. Wood et al. Descriptive statistics, correlation and multiregression analyses were used. There have been found: the all positive functioning scores are higher in the ideal home representation; there are more correlations between home representations and positive functioning in females as compared to males; the real home representation impacts on the positive person’s functioning much more than the ideal home representation. The research was conducted with the assistance of the Russian Science Foundation (project № 14-18-02163).
