Abstract

Use level, visual encounters, crowding expectations, and feelings, were examined by regression techniques to explain perceived crowding among innertube floaters. The model explained 47% of the variance in perceived crowding. 43% of the variance was accounted for by perceived density and use variables. Degree of user specialization and specificity for any given activity and place, is offered as an explanation for the discrepancy from previous findings.-from Authors
