This study compared the pace of life in large cities from 31 countries around the world. Three indicators of pace of life were observed : average walking speed in downtown locations, the speed with which postal clerks completed a simple request (work speed), and the accuracy of public clocks. Overall, pace of life was fastest in japan and the countries of western europe and was slowest in economically underveloped countries. The pace was significantly faster in colder climates, economically productive countries and in individualistic cultures. Faster places also tended to have higher rates of death from coronary heart disease, higher smoking rates, and greater subjective well - being. Discussion focuses on how the pace of life is intertwined with the social - psychological and community characteristics of a culture, and the central role of pace of life in defining the personality of a place and its people.
