Abstract Research on mammals, such as various types of rats and deer, has shown crowding to be associated with a variety of deleterious consequences for the overcrowded animals. In sociological theory, crowding (or density) has also been thought to be associated with adverse social consequences. However, among humans, studies of crowding in the United States and in Canada have produced inconsistent results. Different study results may be due to the fact that crowding in North America tends to vary only from low to moderate when viewed in global terms. Perhaps there is a crowding "threshold;" that is, some number of persons per household above which the adverse effects of crowding may be observed. Bangkok, Thailand is a highly appropriate site in which to conduct this type of research because of the extreme rates of crowding found in some Thai communities. This study brings together American and Cambodian research teams. Their survey, in metropolitan Bankok, will assess whether a greater density of persons in households is associated with more stress related physical illnesses (e.g. hypertension, angina) and greater tension between spouses and between parents and children. The investigators' crowding--stress model will be assessed with Lisrel analysis.

摘要 对哺乳动物的研究，如各种类型的老鼠和鹿， 显示拥挤与各种有害的 过度拥挤的动物的后果。社会学 理论，拥挤（或密度）也被认为是 与不良社会后果有关。然而， 在美国和加拿大进行的拥挤研究 产生了不一致的结果。 不同的研究结果可能是由于拥挤的事实， 北美的气温往往只有从低到中等的变化， 从全球角度来看。或许有一个拥挤的“门槛”; 也就是说，每个家庭的人数超过这个数字， 可能会观察到拥挤的不利影响。泰国曼谷 是一个非常适合进行这种类型的 研究，因为在一些地方发现了极端的拥挤率， 泰国社区。 这项研究汇集了美国和柬埔寨的研究 团队他们在曼谷大都市进行的调查将评估 家庭人口密度的增加与以下因素有关： 更多与压力有关的身体疾病（例如高血压， 心绞痛）和配偶之间和父母之间的紧张关系 和儿童研究人员的拥挤-压力模型将是 使用Lisrel分析。
