Many of us have witnessed unusual and even anti -social behaviors at the airport or flight. These may be benign actions such as sleeping on the ground or doing yoga in front of the flight information display system to serious accidents such as early morning drunken arguments or even trying to open the doors in the middle of the flight.
These problems appear to have worsened in recent years with increased air anger accidents and flight deviation. Such incidents have led to a call to reduce or even ban alcohol sales at airports and aircraft. For example, Ryanair wants to restrict two drinks in the airport bars to stop drunken accidents on the aircraft.
But what about airports that make us behave differently? Let’s take a look at psychology.
Many holidays feel that the adventure begins at the airport and puts them in a different frame than usual. They are eager to start their calm hydonism for a week or two.
However, others are anxious about flying, which may cause them to get out of personality or seek refuge in alcohol. The noise and population of the airport also do not help. As the field of environmental psychology has shown, humans are very sensitive to our surroundings and can easily be “over -stressful” by stressors such as population and noise.
Stress and anxiety cause irritability, both temporary and continuous. People who are generally anxious are more prone to anger. And a temporary anxiety spirit often causes angry outbreaks.
In my opinion, we also have to look at the airport from Negarak’s psychological point of view. Psychology examines the impact of places on people’s emotions and behavior, especially urban environments.
In Celtic cultures, there is the concept of special “thin places” – from sacred gardens or forests – that is the veil between material and the thin spiritual world. In thin places, we are between two territories, not completely in one place nor the other place.
In the world of modern technology, airports can also be seen as “thin places”. They are the stimulant areas where the borders disappear. At the literal level, national borders are resolved. When we crossed security, we enter a non -masculine land between countries. The concept of the place becomes ambiguous.
In a similar way, time becomes a vague concept at airports. In the case of walking on the plane, we are in a confidential space between the two zones when we jump in time, or even return to the past. Some flights across the United States – such as Atlanta to Alabama – earlier than time, because they cross the areas of time. Unable to manage our time, gives us a sense of control over our lives. Losing this may be the source of another anxiety.
In other words, airports are absent, where the current moment is unwanted. Everyone’s attention to the future becomes their flights and the adventures ahead of them when they reach their destination. This intense future focus often brings frustration, especially if flights are delayed.
