520 $a A study population of 1,500 adult residents that received a mailed questionnaire was selected by using multi-stage cluster sampling to achieve a geographically representative sample. Response rate was 26.6% from this national survey.
520 $a The purpose of this exploratory study was to identify the public's opinion of architecture, interior decoration, and interior design and determine how these opinions were influenced. A focus of this investigation was to determine if the public considers any of these practices to be professions; thereby creating a perception of influence. This analysis also documented the public's opinion about the practitioners' representative tasks, responsibilities, qualifications, and characters.
520 $a This study was based on public opinion theory. The influence and interaction of four theoretical constructs were examined: attitude, belief, personal identity, and interpersonal communication. Variables were measured to determine their influences on the public's opinion of the three practices. Two external forces, mass-mediated communication and societal socioeconomic conditions, as constants were not measured.
520 $a The study was focused on testing three hypotheses: (1) the public's internally held beliefs regarding architecture, interior decoration, and interior design are influenced by personal identity and interpersonal communication, (2) the public's internally held attitudes regarding architecture, interior decoration, and interior design are influenced by personal identity and interpersonal communication, and (3) the public's internally held beliefs and attitudes regarding architecture, interior decoration, and interior design are influenced by the interaction between the variables.
520 $a Hypotheses one and three were supported by the findings, however, hypothesis two was not supported. In general, the study does consider architects and interior designers to be professionals, but not to the degree they do doctors. As illustrated by their beliefs and attitudes, the public is not sure what role practitioners play in terms of their responsibilities or qualifications. Also, knowing a practitioner was found to be a both positive and negative influence on their beliefs about the practitioners.
520 $a The study's identification of the public's opinions and their origin will provide the design practices a focus for reeducating the public. This could increase the practitioners' access to the design of the built environment and thereby promote sustainability and quality of life.
