Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

41.2K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Rolling Resistance: Problem Solving

495
Rolling resistance, also known as rolling friction, is the force that resists the motion of a rolling object, such as a wheel, tire, or ball, when it moves over a surface. It is caused by the deformation of the object and the surface in contact with each other, as well as other factors like internal friction, hysteresis, and energy losses within the materials. Rolling resistance opposes the object's motion, requiring additional energy to overcome it and maintain movement. In practical...

Area of Science:

  • Urban planning
  • Transportation engineering
  • Human-computer interaction

Background:

  • Micromobility, particularly e-scooters, has surged globally, altering urban mobility patterns.
  • The increase in e-scooter usage correlates with a rise in urban crashes, necessitating research into user behavior and interactions.
  • Understanding the dynamics between e-scooters and cyclists is crucial for improving urban road safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the meeting maneuver between micromobility users and cyclists on various two-way bicycle track types.
  • To assess the impact of different bicycle track designs on clearance distances during encounters.
  • To evaluate micromobility users' perceived safety and comfort levels in different riding environments.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an instrumented e-scooter to record data during encounters on diverse bicycle tracks.
  • Quantified clearance distances between e-scooters and bicycles under various track conditions.
  • Administered an online questionnaire to gauge users' subjective experiences and perceived risks.

Main Results:

  • Bicycle tracks with concrete or vegetated curbs resulted in smaller clearance distances (approximately 0.8 m) compared to tracks without edge elements (over 1 m).
  • No statistically significant differences were observed in interaction dynamics between e-scooters and bicycles.
  • Micromobility users reported feeling safer and more comfortable on protected bicycle tracks, away from motorized traffic.

Conclusions:

  • Edge elements on bicycle tracks influence physical proximity during encounters but do not significantly alter interaction types between e-scooters and bicycles.
  • Protected micromobility infrastructure, separated from motorized traffic, is perceived as safer and more comfortable by users.
  • Findings support the development of infrastructure prioritizing micromobility safety and user experience.
