Data

Single-file movement experiments conducted under comparable conditions across five distinct countries:

  • 🇦🇺 Australia
  • 🇨🇳 China
  • 🇯🇵 Japan
  • 🇩🇪 Germany
  • 🇵🇸 Palestine

The primary variable altered in these experiments are density (number of people increased gradually) and the gender composition, which includes categories such as male-only, female-only, randomly mixed, and alternatively mixed runs.

A more detailed description of the data can be found here.
