Socialization and the human physiologic response to crowding.

H W Gruchow

    American Journal of Public Health
    |May 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Household density impacts physiological stress, measured by urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), differently based on early sibling socialization. Fewer siblings and no younger siblings showed increased VMA with crowding, while more younger siblings showed decreased VMA.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Psychology
    • Human Physiology
    • Developmental Psychology

    Background:

    • Household density is a measure of crowding.
    • Physiological alteration can be assessed through biomarkers like urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA).
    • Early life socialization experiences, such as sibling interactions, may influence later physiological responses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between household density and physiological alteration.
    • To explore the moderating role of early sibling socialization experiences on this relationship.

    Main Methods:

    • Cross-sectional analysis of data.
    • Measured household density using persons-per-room ratio.
    • Assessed physiological alteration via urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) levels.

    Main Results:

    • Found a significant interaction effect between the number of siblings and the number of younger siblings.
    • Positive correlation between household density and VMA for individuals with fewer total siblings and no younger siblings.
    • Negative correlation between household density and VMA for individuals with one or more younger siblings.

    Conclusions:

    • Physiological responses to crowding are influenced by early socialization experiences.
    • Sibling number and birth order play a role in how individuals respond to environmental density.
    • Suggests a complex interplay between environment, early life, and physiological stress markers.
