Nowadays, more and more people choose to rent houses in first-tier cities together with other people, which can alleviate certain economic pressure. Therefore co-tenancy has become an important field of academic research in recent years and a number of previous studies have discussed the phenomenon. However, fewer studies explore the influence of different variables on the willingness of co-tenancy behavior through quantitative methods.
This study conceptualizes and implements concepts such as trust, positive emotion, relationship strength, satisfaction, income, duration of co-tenancy required and the willingness of co-tenancy behavior(WOCB). We designed and collected a questionnaire and finally a questionnaire survey of users (n=525) was conducted, and a basic description and comparison of research objects' willingness of co-tenancy behavior were made in terms of trust, and positive emotion, relationship strength and monthly income also affect the willingness of co-tenancy behavior.
The trust effects have a positive impact on the WOCB, Trust effect will affect Relationship Strength and Positive Emotion, and will further affect the WOCB. However, this influence is negative when people are in high Monthly Income and negative when people are in low Monthly Income.
Trust, relationship strength and positive emotion are key factors for people to rent houses with others. That is to say, the intensity of people's willingness to rent houses with others depends on the degree of trust in others, the relationship strength and positive emotion. When the post-90s drifters in Shenzhen do not believe others, they will tend to live alone rather than the new model of co-tenancy. We also suspect that a person with negative emotion far greater than positive emotion prefers to live alone, rather than living in the same place with his roommates. It provided certain group implications for their willingness of co-tenancy behavior.
如今，越来越多的人选择在一线城市与他人合租房屋，这可以缓解一定的经济压力。因此，合租近年来成为学术研究的一个重要领域，此前已有多项研究探讨了这一现象。然而，较少有研究通过定量方法探究不同变量对合租行为意愿的影响。
本研究对信任、积极情绪、关系强度、满意度、收入、所需合租时长以及合租行为意愿等概念进行了概念化和实施。我们设计并收集了一份问卷，最终对525名用户进行了问卷调查，并从信任、积极情绪、关系强度和月收入等方面对研究对象的合租行为意愿进行了基本描述和比较，同时月收入也会影响合租行为意愿。
信任效应会对合租行为意愿产生积极影响，信任效应会影响关系强度和积极情绪，并进一步影响合租行为意愿。然而，当人们月收入较高时，这种影响为负；当人们月收入较低时，这种影响也为负。
信任、关系强度和积极情绪是人们与他人合租房屋的关键因素。也就是说，人们与他人合租房屋的意愿强度取决于对他人的信任程度、关系强度和积极情绪。当深圳的90后漂泊者不信任他人时，他们会倾向于独自居住，而不是选择合租这种新模式。我们还怀疑，一个消极情绪远大于积极情绪的人更倾向于独自居住，而不是与室友住在同一处。这为他们的合租行为意愿提供了一定的群体启示。
