Human beings show signs of stress not when they are actually crowded, but when they feel crowded.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research shows that stress is more related to perceived density (feeling crowded) than actual density (being physically surrounded by others). This means that people may experience stress in situations where there are relatively few people, but they feel crowded due to other factors such as noise, lack of personal space, or a sense of being trapped. Conversely, individuals may feel comfortable and relaxed even in crowded environments if they perceive that they have enough personal space and control over their surroundings.
