Question 147

A researcher investigated whether an environmental nudge could encourage commuters to use the stairs instead of the escalator at a busy subway station. The researcher painted interactive 'piano keys' on the stairs to make climbing them more appealing.

During a peak morning commute from 7:30 am to 9:30 am, the researcher observed and recorded the choices made by commuters, categorizing them based on whether they carried heavy luggage and which path they chose.
