Abstract
In the event of an emergency, the crowd may exhibit behaviors that are not normally present due to panic and tension. These behaviors are collectively referred to as non-adaptive behaviors, mainly including reentry behavior, companion behavior, and herd behavior. To study the impact and degree of influence of these behaviors on crowd evacuation results, this study selected a university auditorium as the research object, and convened school volunteers to conduct on-site evacuation experiments in the auditorium. Real time observation and data analysis were conducted on the herd effect, companion behavior, and reentry behavior during the experiment, and compared with basic experiments. The focus was on indicators such as evacuation time, evacuation speed, and exit decision-making behavior. The experimental results indicate that reentry behavior, companion behavior, and herd effect are all unfavorable for crowd evacuation.

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications
Recognized by the European Physical Society
Physica A publishes research in the field of statistical mechanics and its applications.
Statistical mechanics sets out to explain the behaviour of macroscopic systems by studying the statistical properties of their microscopic constituents.
Applications of the techniques of statistical mechanics are widespread, and include: applications to physical systems such as solids, liquids and gases; applications to chemical and biological systems (colloids, interfaces, complex fluids, polymers and biopolymers, cell physics); and other interdisciplinary applications to for instance biological, economical and sociological systems.
