DOI: 10.1007/s00426-020-01360-x
Abstract: Empirical findings predominantly support a happiness superiority effect in visual search and emotion categorization paradigms and reveal that social cues, like sex and race, moderate this advantage. A more recent study showed that the facial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-36711-7
Abstract: The increasing number of mass events involving large crowds calls for a better understanding of the dynamics of dense crowds. Inquiring into the possibility of a mechanical description of these dynamics, we experimentally study the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1742-5468/ac42cb
Abstract: Merging pedestrian flow can be observed often at public intersections and locations where two or more channels merge. Because of restrictions on the flow, pedestrian congestion, or even crowd disasters (e.g. Hajj crush 2015) happen… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.180172
Abstract: Research in crowd psychology has demonstrated key differences between the behaviour of physical crowds where members are in the same place at the same time, and the collective behaviour of psychological crowds where the entire… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreve.107.024612
Abstract: The local navigation of pedestrians is assumed to involve no anticipation beyond the most imminent collisions, in most models. These typically fail to reproduce some key features experimentally evidenced in dense crowds crossed by an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/05390184231164926
Abstract: Sociological studies on imitation and crowds usually point to the late nineteenth-century French jurist and sociologist Gabriel Tarde as their forerunner. This article argues that a lively debate on those issues already existed in Europe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/19485506231164703
Abstract: Trustworthiness is a fundamental dimension underlying trait impressions of individual faces, and these impressions predict real-world social consequences. Building on ensemble coding research from the vision sciences, we explored to what extent statistical information about… read more here.

Collective movements of pedestrians: How we can learn from simple experiments with non-human (ant) crowds
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0182913
Abstract: Introduction Understanding collective behavior of moving organisms and how interactions between individuals govern their collective motion has triggered a growing number of studies. Similarities have been observed between the scale-free behavioral aspects of various systems… read more here.
