private and public use of the living room - Bilkent University

Pearson’s correlations were computed in order to assess the relationship between
use and the interior design of the living rooms. There is significant relationship
between intentions related to aesthetics in interior design of the living room and
existence of public living room activities (r= 0.447, df= 30, p< 0.005) (see Appendix B
for the results of the statistical analysis). The correlation is positive, which means
that if public living room activities are performed in the living room, intentions
related to aesthetics in interior design exist. Also, there is significant relationship
between intentions related to aesthetics in the interior design of the living room
and number of private living room activities (r= -0.509, df= 30, p< 0.001). The
correlation is negative, which means that the intentions related to aesthetics in the
interior design of the living room exist more when private living room activities are
performed less (see Figure 3.10 for the relationship between intentions related to
aesthetics and number of private living room activities). Thus, there is a significant
relationship between the total number of activities and intentions related to
aesthetics (r= -0.446, df= 30, p< 0.005). The correlation is negative, which indicates
that the intentions related to aesthetics in interior design exist when the number of
activities performed in the living room is fewer.
