  • 1. Experimental setup
  • part of BaSiGo experimental studies
  • two structures of spatial barriers: semicircle setup and corridor setup
  • instruction: “Try to be one of the first to pass through the entrance”

  • 2. Questionnaire study
  • ex post study, participants did not take part in experiments
  • videos projected onto screen, participants asked to imagine to be standing in one
  • f the designated areas
  • questionnaire contains of four parts: before and after watching video; setup

semicircle and setup corridor (half of them in reverse order)

  • participants: 60 students (social sciences, engineering)

Variables in ques-onnaire:

6-point-scale:

  • how just?
  • how likely to be one of the first 100?
  • how comfortable?

yes/no:

  • can you contribute to accessing faster?
  • have you observed inappropriate behavior?
  • pen-ended:
  • strategies for accessing faster
  • forms of inappropriate behavior
  • social norms

Results: Social norms

semicircle corridor the strongest wins/right of the stronger (15) no rules (15) first come, first served (7) norm of queuing/lining up (16)

  • rderly behavior (11)

pushing and shoving are forbidden (10)

  • pen-ended quesGon: Which norms apply for this setup?

in brackets: frequency of menGoning

Results: Level of comfort and perceived justness

Results: Observed inappropriate behavior

people showing inappropriate behavior semicircle corridor

nobody/few 59,4 % 94,9 % a lot/all 40,6 % 5,1 %

semicircle corridor

pushing and shoving (35) pushing someone aside (11) jostling (9) pushing and shoving (16) slightly pushing and shoving (4) jostling (3) standing sGll (3) yes/no quesGon: Have you observed inappropriate behavior?

  • pen-ended quesGon: Forms of inappropriate behavior

Results: Strategies for being faster

contribu-on to faster access semicircle corridor

before 78.3 % 71.7 % aOer 48.3 % 31.7 %

semicircle corridor

pushing and shoving (25) using and filling gaps (10) using elbows/arms/shoulders (9) pushing and shoving (21) staying on the leO hand side (11) using and filling gaps (4) yes/no quesGon: Can you contribute to accessing faster?

  • pen-ended quesGon: Strategies for accessing faster

Results: Summary

semicircle corridor

social norms right of the stronger queuing/no pushing level of comfort lower higher perceived justness lower higher

  • bserved inappropriate behavior more

less contribuGon for faster access more less
