人们普遍认为，文化对拥挤的容忍度有所不同。但是，几乎没有证据证明这种信念，再加上现有文献中的严重缺点。对拥挤的宽容与个人空间偏好的文化差异以及人们的拥挤相混淆。此外，少数研究了对拥挤反应的文化变异性的研究比较了亚组相关性，这不等于统计相互作用。尽管作者发现了统计互动，表明亚裔美国人和拉丁美洲人在与他们的角度 - 美国和非裔美国公民相比认为拥挤的方式有所不同，但所有四个族裔群体都患有相似的，负面的心理困扰后遗症。 。这些结果独立于家庭收入。
It is widely believed that cultures vary in their tolerance for crowding. There is, however, little evidence to substantiate this belief, coupled with serious shortcomings in the extant literature. Tolerance for crowding has been confused with cultural differences in personal space preferences along with perceived crowding. Furthermore, the few studies that have examined cultural variability in reactions to crowding have compared subgroup correlations, which is not equivalent to a statistical interaction. Although the authors found a statistical interaction indicating that Asian Americans and Latin Americans differ in the way they perceive crowding in comparison to their fellow Angle-American and African American citizens, all four ethnic groups suffer similar, negative psychological distress sequelae of high-density housing. These results hold independently of household income.
