Resumo: The relation between home environment and two modalities of perceived control: primary control (PC) and secondary control (SC), was investigated. PC and SC refer to efforts exerted to: a) adapt the environment to the residents' needs and attainment of goals; b) adapt to the environment. The non-probabilistic quota sample was composed of 315 residents in Brasília-DF, Brazil, (105 male; 210 female), between 60 and 92 years old. Data were collected through interviews at the respondents' households. Results indicated: 1) Inverse correlation between PC and social density of the home environment - DESAM (r = -0.119; p < 0.05); 2) Perceived control was significantly higher among elderly who had their own bedroom (t = 2.21; df = 313; p < 0.05) compared to those who did not have an exclusive bedroom. The results suggest that low DESAM favors PC in this stage of life, when many activities are performed at home, and freedom of action and privacy are very important needs.

Se investigó la relación entre ambiente de vivienda y dos modalidades de control percibido: control primario (CP) y control secundario (CS), referentes a esfuerzos emprendidos para adaptar el ambiente a las propias necesidades y realizar metas (CP); adaptarse al ambiente (CS). Participaron 315 ancianos (105 hombres; 120 mujeres) residentes en Brasilia - DF, entre 60 y 92 años, seleccionados de manera no probabilística, por cuotas de género. Los datos fueron colectados en la dirección por medio de entrevista incluyendo cuestiones socio-demográficas y una escala de control. Los resultados apuntan: 1) Relación inversa entre CP y densidad social del ambiente de vivienda - DESAM (r = -0,119; p < 0,05); 2) percepción de control significativamente mayor en los que disponían de habitación exclusiva (t = 2,21; df = 313; p < 0,05). Se concluyó que baja DESAM facilita el CP en esa etapa de la vida en que muchas actividades son realizadas en la dirección, convirtiendo la libertad de acción y la privacidad en necesidades importantes. Este trabalho investigou a relação entre ambiente de moradia e duas modalidades de controle percebido controle primário (CP) e controle secundário (CS), referentes a esforços empreendidos para adaptar o ambiente às próprias necessidades e realizar metas (CP); adaptar-se ao ambiente (CS). Participaram 315 idosos (105 homens; 210 mulheres) residentes em Brasília-DF, entre 60 e 92 anos, selecionados de forma não-probabilística, por cotas de gênero. Os dados foram coletados no domicílio por meio de entrevista incluindo questões sócio-demográficas e uma escala de controle. Os resultados apontam: (1) Relação inversa entre CP e densidade social do ambiente de moradia - DESAM (r = -0,119; p < 0,05); (2) Percepção de controle significativamente maior nos que dispunham de quarto exclusivo (t = 2,21; df = 313; p < 0,05). Conclui-se que baixa DESAM facilita o CP nessa fase da vida em que muitas atividades são realizadas no domicílio, convertendo a liberdade de ação e a privacidade em necessidades importantes.
