A clear relationship exists between human personality and architectural preferences. However, reviewing the findings of previous studies reveals that this expectation is not necessarily accurate, as contradictory results have been reported. This study aims to review various research and assessment methods used in previous studies for assessing the relationship between personality and architectural preferences and identify the theoretical and practical shortcomings of each method.
This is a critical review study. A search was conducted in Google Scholar and Web of Science database for published articles in English using the following keywords: "Visual aesthetics," "personality traits," "architectural preferences," "art preferences," and "aesthetic judgments." These articles were first categorized into four groups based on their methodological approaches (physiological, neurobiological, practical, and psychological) and then their degree of success and generalizability were assessed briefly. Finally, due to having lower implementation limitations and a higher theoretical background, the group using the psychological approaches was structurally analyzed from the methodological and practical aspects to develop a conceptual quadruple model. After presenting the model, neural network modeling was used to discover of hidden patterns.
Based on the analysis of the reviewed studies, the psychological approach was a more feasible option for assessing the relationship between personality and architectural preferences. The quadruple model that proposed for this purpose included ental stimuli, context, personality traits, and responses. The machine learning method facilitated the discovery of hidden patterns in relationship between personality and human preferences.
This study proposes a new systematic quadruple model for evaluating aesthetic preferences.
人类个性与建筑偏好之间存在明确的关系。然而，回顾以往研究的结果发现，这种预期不一定准确，因为已有相互矛盾的结果报道。本研究旨在回顾以往研究中用于评估个性与建筑偏好之间关系的各种研究和评估方法，并确定每种方法的理论和实践缺陷。
这是一项批判性综述研究。在谷歌学术和科学网数据库中使用以下关键词搜索英文发表文章：“视觉美学”、“个性特征”、“建筑偏好”、“艺术偏好”和“审美判断”。这些文章首先根据其方法学方法（生理学、神经生物学、实践和心理学）分为四组，然后简要评估其成功程度和可推广性。最后，由于实施限制较低且理论背景较高，从方法学和实践方面对使用心理学方法的组进行结构分析，以建立一个概念性的四重模型。在提出模型后，使用神经网络建模来发现隐藏模式。
基于对综述研究的分析，心理学方法是评估个性与建筑偏好之间关系更可行的选择。为此提出的四重模型包括心理刺激、背景、个性特征和反应。机器学习方法有助于发现个性与人类偏好之间关系中的隐藏模式。
本研究提出了一种用于评估审美偏好的新的系统四重模型。
