CARPOOLING: ATTITUDES AND PARTICIPATION

The experimental study explores the attractives of carpools using the information integration approach of experimental psychology, examining how the desirability of carpools varies as a function of the sex of each rider and whether or not the rider is a prior acquanitance of the respondent. /Author/
