Indians generally are quite impatient by nature compared to citizens of other countries. This was the comment which dragged me into an argument. I was in the company of four friends one of them was a psychiatrist who ignited the issue. He was doing a research on behavior of people on different occasion where one has to wait for his turn to get his work done. His arguments were:
Any comments guys?..
- Indians generally tend to jump the queue whenever there is an opportunity.
- They don't follow the lane driving system themselves but wants everyone else to follow.
- He quotes examples of many countries where people always stand behind the man if some one is standing before a counter, but if in India, the person goes directly to the counter unless objected to by the men already standing there. Sometimes even submits flimsy reasons in support of his breaking queue. This seems to be a general tendency here in India.
- Normally very difficult to controlled by humans or manual measures but will patiently wait if the turns are managed by machines like token vending machines.
- His observation is that they tend to follow rules if it is assured that everyone else follows it. He attributes the reason for the same to the confidence in people that machines will not play foul there will not be any out of turn entry if the queue is managed by machines.
- Indirectly he intends to prove that Indians will trust and abide by machines rather than fellow humans.
Any comments guys?..
