Have You Ever Experienced Elevator Anxiety?
Modern people often feel “elevator anxiety” when in an elevator. This is due to the tension caused by the invasion of their one-meter “bubble-like personal space.” Research shows that standing patterns in elevators reflect people’s instinct to maintain psychological distance. When sharing an elevator with others, many people stare at the floor numbers or look at their phones to alleviate their anxiety.
Psychologists suggest that before entering the elevator, one can practice deep breathing, shift attention, and avoid competing for space with others to enhance the comfort of riding in elevators.
