    I braved it for you: “That quick wave to a driver who stopped at the crosswalk looks trivial, almost automatic. Psychologists now argue it reveals a specific mindset, shaped by gratitude, empathy and attention to the present moment.”

    So the article was talking about the mindset of the person waving? I wanna know the synopsis of the effects it has on the person in the car who decided to stop for the person 😆

    I always wave when crossing the parking lot with a car that stopped for me, so I already know what goes through my mind when I do it haha. I'm more curious if the driver is indifferent, barely hanging on to their patience waiting for me to cross (I'm not slow), or get a little dose of dopamine from the acknowledgement - that's what I want to know! I stop for ppl too when I'm the driver, but I never really paid attention to my mindset when they wave, but I think I notice when they don't wave/ acknowledge at all. But I think I'm usually indifferent when the person walking is indifferent. But I'm still curious of the average!

    Don't go to behavioral psychology for answers. That field is a load of bullshit and rife with academic fraud.

    Thanks, but wow what a study. Next you'll be telling me screaming at children is associated with hostile personalities.

    No, photographer is on the correct side. Everyone else is just on the wrong one.

    Anyone that says facing the red sign with the white line means you’re going the wrong way has obviously never driven before.

    strongly associated with specific personality traits. Which sounds like "people who watch football tend to be sports fans."

    Pretty sure that photo was taken in Germany (Berlin?). And drivers are obliged to stop for pedestrians at zebra crossings.

    That's a Swedish "No entry" sign that's red with a yellow bar. The car is also a Volvo, which doesn't really prove anything, but it does fit the theme.

    God the amount of walking I do, it would be exhausting to have to wave at every driver just so they don’t kill me.

    Thank you for being patient and not causing a head on collision as you're driving on the wrong side of the road! Good bye now!

    No it doesn't, see the prohibited direction sign.

    I saw that after writing it, but then thought, why is it not at the beginning of the road instead of right in front of a new side road.

    I'd guess this image might be AI generated, as you noted, the sign placement makes no sense at all. It should either be at the start of the road or after the intersection.

    What if you are like me and wave at the driver but don’t actually look at them? What does that tell you?
