Question:

The experience of crowding may produce _________________.

Options:

Feeling of comfort

Loss or decrease in privacy

Positive view of the space around the person

Feeling of control over social interaction

Correct Answer:

Loss or decrease in privacy

Explanation:

The experience of crowding may produce loss or decrease in privacy.

Crowding is a psychological stress produced by excessive population density, especially when people perceive that space is insufficient to meet their demands.

When people feel crowded, they may feel like they have no personal space and that they are constantly being watched or observed. This can lead to feelings of discomfort, anxiety, and stress.

The other options are not as relevant:

  • Feeling of comfort: Crowding can often lead to feelings of discomfort, rather than comfort.
  • Positive view of the space around the person: Crowding can make people feel like they have less control over their environment, which can lead to a negative view of the space around them.
  • Feeling of control over social interaction: Crowding can make people feel like they have less control over their social interactions, which can lead to feelings of anxiety and stress.

Therefore, the best answer is loss or decrease in privacy.
