Sociologist Dr. Evelyn Arispe investigated the impact of interactive public art installations on urban pedestrian habits. She hypothesized that interactive art—installations requiring physical touch or motion to activate—does not merely cause temporary delays but actively alters pedestrian route selection, prompting individuals to permanently integrate these locations into their daily walking routes, even when the interactive components are inactive. Which choice, if true, would most directly support Arispe's hypothesis?
- Three months after the installation was removed, tracked residents who had altered their routes to pass through the plaza during the installation's run continued to use those routes at similar rates.Cevap
- BPedestrians tracked during the study reported that they found the interactive sound installation more engaging than traditional, non-interactive sculptures.
- CThe total number of pedestrians entering the plaza increased sharply on weekends when the interactive features of the installation were fully functional.
- DMost of the residents who changed their routes to walk through the plaza did so because they believed walking past public art improved their cognitive focus for the rest of the day.
Cevap
Three months after the installation was removed, tracked residents who had altered their routes to pass through the plaza during the installation's run continued to use those routes at similar rates.
The correct option directly supports the hypothesis by showing that the route modifications made by pedestrians persisted months after the installation's removal. This provides direct empirical evidence that the route changes were permanent rather than temporary.
