Elevator Reflex

When in an elevator it is the tendency of people to avoid looking at another's face or acknowledging another person. It is caused by a lack of ease which comes from people being forced to intrude on each other’s personal space within the confines of an elevator. Personal space is the region around a person which they psychologically consider to be theirs. If this space is invaded by another person they will feel threatened and uneasy.

Inside an elevator people are forced to stand closer together than they would otherwise. This invasion of each other's personal space makes each person feel uneasy. To deal with the feeling of invasion people look upward or at the elevator numbers in an attempt to ignore the intrusion into their space. This the elevator reflex
