1 mark per correct point.
The team was always made up of 2 males and 2 females. The team boarded the train using different doors. The location of the 'experimental' car was always varied. Females took seats outside critical area/in adjacent area. Recorded data as covertly as possible during ride. Male victim/model always stood up.
Victim was always next to pole (in critical area)/centre of the critical area.
The model would go to adjacent/critical area (depending on the condition).
The victim waited 70s before collapsing.
