abstract = {Research on pedestrian dynamics has generally dealt with
temporary gatherings of people who do not know each other
personally. These gatherings are often framed as highly
individualized encounters in which social interactions play
no or only a marginal role. However, recent research based
on self-categorization theory showed the relevance of
salient social identity for crowd dynamics. Drawing on the
interactionist approach of social identity theory and the
work of Erving Goffman and Alfred Schütz, this paper aims
to show that anonymous encounters are carefully concerted
social phenomena. The authors present the results of an
exploratory social psychological experiment (N = 83), in
which groups of participants were asked to wait for 5 min in
a designated area with different communicative conditions
and then to walk to a narrow exit. Based on the assumption
that communication and conformity to expectations influences
the behaviour of those present, we introduced four
modifications during the waiting time and analysed
questionnaire data and video recordings in a mixed-methods
design. The results show that direct communication
correlates with higher speed, cell phone use with greater
distance to the nearest neighbour, and unexpected behaviour
with slower movement.},
