Which of thefollowing findings is NOT true? Their results indicated that Get answer to your question and much more “I guess living in the city has gotten to me” my friend jokingly replied after asking her if everything was okay. She was visiting for the weekend and we spent the day in D.C. I observed that she was slightly aloof in response to strangers (for example, greetings from store employees or servers at restaurants). While I initially perceived this as a bit standoffish, I realized that I may have been overlooking that her usual environment is vastly different from mine. I live in the suburbs of Northern Virginia right outside of D.C., while she has recently adjusted to living in downtown Richmond for the past year. There are many stressors that exist in a city: high population density, crowding, excessive noise, crime, high costs of living, and traffic. It’s plausible to think that these factors can take some sort of psychological toll on individuals that inhabit these areas. It’s also important to note that others thrive in that environment and may not be bothered. Regardless, there is a psychological concept that details how people react to urban life, known as stimulus overload. Stanley Milgram (1970) used this term to describe that our nervous system can become overwhelmed from the environmental information that is bombarding our senses. This inhibits our ability to respond to everything around us so we have to adapt to the situation by setting priorities and using selective attention (Schneider, Gruman & Coutts, 2012). By simplifying how we react to the environment, we have to limit what we respond to (unconsciously or not), and this is known as psychologically retreating (Schneider et al., 2012). Milgram (1970) furthered his concept of stimulus overload and proposed six types of psychological retreat:
Schneider et. al (2012) summarized these perfectly: “Collectively, these adaptations to the overload that characterize life in the city contribute to the distinctive nature of the behavior of city dwellers, which is often regarded as hurried and somewhat callous toward others” (p. 280). In hindsight, now that I understand the reactions to stimulus overload in an urban area, the behavior of my friend made more sense. References Korte, C. (1980).
