Which one is not a characteristic of crowding experience?

Feeling of comfort

The correct answer is Option (4) → Feeling of comfort

Explanation:

• Loss in privacy: Crowding often leads to a perceived loss of personal space and privacy.
• Loss of control over social interaction: In crowded environments, individuals may feel they have less control over their interactions with others, which can contribute to discomfort.
• Negative view of the space around the person: Crowding typically results in a negative perception of the surrounding environment, as it can feel restrictive and overwhelming.

In contrast, a feeling of comfort is generally associated with spacious or welcoming environments, not with crowding.
