Abstract

(From the chapter) based on reflection of the factual relationship of social and environmental psychology an attempt is made to explore the basic dimensions in the experience of crowded situations by use of multidimensional scaling method descriptions of 105 real-life crowding situations are analyzed according to cognitive, affective and behavioural responses a representative sample of 15 situations is subjected to a multidimensional scaling procedure, the result of which is a two-dimensional solution representing the experience of crowding: one dimension focusing on rather objective situational parameters indicating interference of action, the other reflecting individual effects of environmental load (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA
