The study is aimed at investigating the connection between the friendliness of the home environment and the moral motives' level. The friendliness of the home environment includes two aspects: the number of functions provided by home (functionality) and the congruence of these functions with inhabitants' needs (relevance). The theoretical framework of the study was formed by research and ideas emphasizing the interplay between people and their environments. We hypothesized that the friendliness of the home environment and inhabitants' moral motives would have a reciprocal relationship: the friendlier the home the higher the inhabitants' moral motives' level, and, vice versa, the higher the person's moral motives' level the more positive home image. The respondents were 550 students (25% male). The Home Environment Functionality Questionnaire, the Home Environment Relevance Questionnaire, and the Moral Motivation Model Scale were used. As expected, it was found that the friendliness of the home environment and the inhabitants' moral motives are in reciprocal synergetic relationships. Relevance formed more nuanced correlation patterns with moral motives than functionality did. Functionality predicted moral motives poorly whereas moral motives predicted functionality strongly. Finally, relevance and moral motives were found to be in mutual relationships whereas the perceived functionality was predicted by moral motives only.
该研究旨在调查家庭环境的友好程度与道德动机水平之间的联系。家庭环境的友好程度包括两个方面：家庭提供的功能数量（功能性）以及这些功能与居住者需求的契合度（相关性）。该研究的理论框架是由强调人与环境之间相互作用的研究和观点构成的。我们假设家庭环境的友好程度与居住者的道德动机之间存在相互关系：家庭越友好，居住者的道德动机水平越高；反之，个人的道德动机水平越高，家庭形象越积极。受访者为550名学生（25%为男性）。使用了家庭环境功能性问卷、家庭环境相关性问卷和道德动机模型量表。正如预期的那样，研究发现家庭环境的友好程度与居住者的道德动机处于相互协同的关系。与功能性相比，相关性与道德动机形成了更细微的相关模式。功能性对道德动机的预测能力较差，而道德动机对功能性的预测能力较强。最后，发现相关性和道德动机相互关联，而感知到的功能性仅由道德动机预测。
