You must have the habit of washing your hands after the loo visit. Apart from the hygienic consciousness, have you ever thought what propels you into this activity? People are more likely to wash their hands after using the toilet when they have been shamed into it.
A variety of messages, ranging from "Water doesn’t kill germs, soap does" to "Don’t be a dirty soap dodger", were flashed onto LED screens at the entrance of the toilets. The effects of the messages propel many vistors to wash their hands. "Is the person next to you washing with soap?" was best overall, showing how people respond to whether they thought others were watching.
The research by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, published in the American Journal of Public Health. Robert Aunger led this study. They looked at responses to electronic hygiene messages displayed in UK service station toilets.
