The Behavioral Effects of Crowding

Larry M. Dean, William M. Pugh, E. K. Eric Gunderson

Open publisher page 35 citations

Abstract

Crews of 18 U.S. Navy combat vessels rated their living and working conditions aboard ship, including degree of crowding. In order to understand better the behavioral effects of crowding, three different types of measures, corresponding to different definitions of crowding, were constructed. These separate crowding measures correlated uniquely with satisfaction and illness criteria.
