Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sam likely views the social context of a shopping mall as "loose," meaning there are fewer strict social norms or rules governing behavior, such as where to stand on an escalator. This contrasts with a "tight" context where there would be clear expectations and possibly annoyance when they are not met.
