Online resources: Summary: Introduction -- Why young adults are flatting well beyond student years -- Choosing flatmates -- Desirable flatmates -- Benefits and challenges of sharing -- Conflict -- The social dynamics of sharing -- Conclusion.Summary: "Drawing on research from interviews with young adults in a range of settings, Shared Housing and Young Adults is the first to provide insight into the psychology of young adult house sharing with a focus on the broad dynamics of co-residence, interpersonal relationships and young people's development. Beginning with an overview of the concept and history of house sharing among young adults, Clark and Tuffin's volume also examines reasons for the lack of research into the area up until recently. It explores key questions including how young adults choose housemates, what makes a desirable housemate, avoiding complications, the psychological advantages of house sharing, how conflict arises, and impact of house sharing on adult development. The authors challenge myths fostered by stereotypes and the stigma of shared domesticity, demonstrating the potential of house sharing to enhance well-being through companionship whilst acknowledging the potential pitfalls caused by tension in intimate settings. Shared Housing Among Young Adults will be essential reading for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of social psychology, developmental psychology, sociology, and anthropology, as well as those interested in group dynamics, housing, and discrimination"--PPN: PPN: 1882639898Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-4-NLEBK | BSZ-4-NLEBK-KAUB
