TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - The Effects of Crowding on the Behavior and Perception of 10-Year-Old Boys JO - Environmental psychology and nonverbal behavior A1 - Loo, Chalsa A1 - Smetana, Judi SP - 226 EP - 249 VL - 2 IS - 4 N2 - The present study integrated observational and self-report methods to investigate the effects of low and high spatial density on 10-year-old boys in an experimental setting. The differential effects of density on acquaintances versus strangers and on close versus far personal-space boys were analyzed. From a factor analysis of variables that were either rated during a free-play session or were scored responses from a postexperimental interview, five factors emerged: (1)Discomfort and Dislike of Room; (2)Active Play, (3)Avoidance, (4)Positive Group Interactions, and (5)Anger and Aggression.
