Personality Characteristics and Perceived Quality of Life Among Residents of a Remote British Columbia Company Town

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
January 1983

Abstract

Personality characteristics and the perceived quality of life of a resident sample in an isolated company town were compared with those of a largely urban sample. Although highly significant differences were found on many of the dependent measures, further investigation indicates that generalization to other remote communities should be undertaken with considerable caution.

Résumé

On a comparé les traits de personnalité et la perception de la qualitè de vie d'un échantillon de résidants d'une ville patronale isolée avec ceux d'un échantillon composé en grande partie de citadins. Bien qu'on ait constaté des écarts très significatifs pour de nombreuses variables dépendantes, des études ultérieures montrent qu'on devrait faír preuve de la plus grande prudence lorsqu'on applique ces résultats à d'autres localités éloignées.
