NEW YORK - Have you noticed how many idiots walk in our streets: too slow, careless, eyes glued to the screen of your phone, my head away while listening to music through headphones? But be careful: if you turn on these behaviors evoke memories exasperating and repressed anger, you may be suffering from the syndrome of aggression Pedestrian.
For many decades, American psychologists have studied a similar phenomenon among motorists. Be closed in the cockpit in the middle of a traffic jam, can turn otherwise normal people into monsters. The "road rage", literally, road rage, claiming victims every year and gave birth to the courses of "anger management" or control of anger.
Now the same is happening among the pedestrians. The "sidewalk rage" is rampant. A little 'is the fault of new electronic gadgets that monopolize our attention even in the most unsuitable. Just as drivers distracted by mobile phones cause carnage, pedestrians also are increasingly involved in accidents because they look elsewhere.
But experts from the Department of City Planning in New York have also identified other causes. Increasingly multi-ethnic living in the metropolis of the "cultural codes of good manners" too different from each other: the actions "civil" I expect it from other pedestrians is not necessarily what they expect from me.
Finally weigh demographic factors or health: more elderly, and obese. All categories who walk more slowly. The same department of urban planning in New York measured on a sample of 8,978 pedestrians on the sidewalks of Manhattan different speed. They range from a maximum of 1.35 meters per second for those who are reaching the workplace (with peaks of 1.40 for those who do listen to music: the rhythm that will galvanize) down to the elderly whose average stride that is 1.11 meters per second.
Tourists are penultimate to slow, with equal weight. Speed disparate create the conditions of permanent conflict: those in a hurry to dodge walkers to roam, and anticipate more erratic behavior to avoid a collision. In a metropolis clogged the neutral walkers as Manhattan, has even created a club for ultra-fast pedestrians on Facebook grouped under the heading "Secretly I want to punch in the neck who walk Piano".
But there is nothing to laugh at: The sidewalk is increasing impatience by episodes that psychiatrists call "disease intermittent access of rage." The violence is just around the corner. Or at least is likely to add stress to stress, if the pavement becomes a place where they accumulate small sgrabi, deaf hostility, resentment toward the other.
The very serious Wall Street Journal warns that with an investigation by the evocative title: "Get out of the middle piece of m. ..". Quote psychologist Jerry Deffenbacher, a professor at Colorado State University, that "it is urgent to understand the triggers of anger, and help to master them." Another psychologist Leon James University of Hawaii, admits that he became an expert as a "penitent".
Living in Honolulu, a city perpetually overrun by tourists, James suffered a torture similar to that of the Venetians who must dodge the flood of tourists will not be late to every appointment. "I sensed the sidewalks as my property, move forward like a tank and worse for those who blocked the passage to me," recalls James.
After putting down the evil, now he is to have defined the fifteen signs of aggression Pedestrian syndrome: a list of hostile small gestures such as cutting or scraping the road without apology, that should ring a warning bell. Care is essential "because anger is the cause of hypertension and heart disease." Many little tricks can help: for example, "broaden our vision as a lens, embracing the horizon, to study early and quietly overtaking the strategies of the slowest." Bei long ago, when Japan was taught in school how to tilt even on rainy days your umbrella to drop the drops in the opposite direction to bystanders, or the etiquette of our grandparents always give the Lord commanded the inside and more secure platform.
