Pedestrian Dynamics - Social Psychology
Our division studies the experience of being in a crowd and the influence of social psychological parameters on pedestrian dynamics. We follow a multimethod approach using quantitative as well as qualitative methods to investigate various socio-psychological mechanisms in crowds, such as social influence, emotion, or social norms. Our data include questionnaire ratings, physio-psychological data (e.g. heart rate, skin conductance level) and interview transcripts obtained through experiments, field studies and interviews.
