Purdue Home Stimulation Inventory

The Purdue Home Stimulation Inventory aims to assess household chaos by means of observation of the participants' home and an interview about chaos within the house. This includes establishing the number of persons living in the house, and the number of rooms in the house in which family members spend time and that can be closed by a door (excluding for example storage spaces and open kitchens). In addition, the people-to-square-meters ratio is calculated.
