Territoriality: The Experiment
Description
A subset of the parking data frame, giving only the
subject involved in the experiment. In the experiment, parked cars
were approached by either an expensive car or a cheap one. The approaching
car waited for the spot, and while waiting either honked once or did not
honk at all.
Format
A data frame with 237 observations on the following 12 variables.
- confcar
The type of car that was waiting for the parking
spot (or that just drove by). Either a Nissan Maxima or an Infinity Q45. The car is
"confronting" the parked car, hence the
name of the variable.
- sex
Sex of the driver of the parked car.
- race
Race of the driver of the parked car.
- num
Number of people in the parked car (including the driver).
- horn
Thhe waiting car either honked the horn once, or did
not honk at all.
- carval
Book value of the parked car, in dollars.
- month
Month in which the incident occurred.
- day
Day of the week on which the incident occurred.
- miltime
Time at which the incident occurred, in military units.
For example, 1130 denotes 11:30AM, while 1350 denotes for 1:50PM.
- time
Time in seconds for the parked car to depart the parking
spot.
- ccstatus
Status of the waiting "confronting" car. The Maxima
is considered a low-status car, whereas the Infinity Q45 is an
expensive, "high-status" car.
- valuediff
Difference in value between the confronting car and the
parked car, in dollars. The values of the confronting cars were as follows:
Maxima: 5200, Infinity Q45: 57000.
Note
This is almost the orginal data. B. Ruback indicates
(personal communication) that several observations are missing and
cannot be recovered at the present time.
