Identification of social relation within pedestrian dyads

Social Groups and Pedestrian Crowds: Experiment on Dyads in a Counter Flow Scenario

The calibration and validation of pedestrian simulations require the acquisition of empirical evidences of human behaviour. The current work presents the results of an experiment focused on the potentially combined effect of counter flow and grouping on pedestrian dynamics. In particular, we focused on: (i) four different configurations of flow ratio (the rate between the minor flow and the tot...

The development of cooperation among schizophrenic dyads and non-schizophrenic dyads in the minimal social situation

Connectedness within Social Contexts: The Relation to Adolescent Health.

International studies have shown that the more developmental assets adolescents possess, the greater their likelihood of engaging in health-enhancing practices and the lesser their likelihood of engaging in practices that put health at risk. Logistic regressions were conducted on data from the 2000-2001 National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) for 12- to 15-year-old Canadian y...

A social agent pedestrian model

This paper presents a social agent pedestrian model based on experiments with human subjects. Research studies of criminology and environmental psychology show that certain features of the urban environment generate fear in people, causing them to take alternate routes. The Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) strategy has been implemented to reduce fear of crime and crime itse...

Whose intentions predict? Power over condom use within heterosexual dyads.

UNLABELLED According to major theories of behavioral prediction, the most proximal psychological predictor of an individual's behavior is that individual's intention. With respect to interdependent behaviors such as condom use, however, relationship dynamics influence individuals' power to make decisions and to act. OBJECTIVE The current study examines how relationship dynamics impact 3 condo...
