Research Scenario

Middlemist, Knowles, and Matter (1976) conducted a study investigating whether or not invasions of personal space are physiologically as well as psychologically arousing.    The experiment was run in a men's lavatory.  By closing off one or another urinal, participants were forced to urinate either in the urinal next to a male confederate of the experimenter or in the urinal one away from the confederate.  A second confederate was positioned (so to speak) in a toilet stall adjacent to the urinals.    Using a periscope the second confederate observed the urination behavior of the participants.  The latency to onset of urination and duration of onset of urination were recorded by the observer.
