Gravitation toward walls among human subjects
- Keywords:
- gravitation toward walls, human participants, individual differences
- Abstract
- In two studies, participants in a classroom corridor who walked near the wall (“gravitators”) were contrasted with those who walked near the center (“nongravitators”). Gravitators were lower than nongravitators on autonomy and defendence and appeared to be less responsive to other persons. Gravitation is an innate behavior among some animals; among human beings there are marked individual differences. Some social encounters may involve gravitation toward the other person as an object.
