To answer your question about whether a library has psychological relaxation benefits:
Yes, they actually do - especially Japanese libraries, and those environmental differences play a huge role!
While libraries abroad often have chatter and the sound of coffee brewing, Japanese libraries are different.
The only sounds you hear are soft footsteps, pages turning, and books being placed back on shelves.
Combined with the distinct smell of paper and ink, that extreme, peaceful environment provides a profound psychological relaxation.
I don't think it's a Pavlovian response.
It's because of that kind of relaxation effect, or rather, because we want to relax that we need the restroom.
Actually...,
the "Mariko Aoki phenomenon" is the original inspiration behind "Book Bowel Syndrome."
It all started with a reader's submission to a magazine in 1985!
Over time, it came to include the urge to urinate as well as defecate.
While the exact medical mechanism remains a complete mystery, statistical data clearly shows that this is a very real, widespread phenomenon.
That is a fascinating perspective!
It is especially intriguing given the cultural nuance of calling a restroom the "reading room."
While the Pavlovian conditioning theory has indeed been discussed in Japan, the cultural reality is that the vast majority of Japanese people do not read in the toilet.
For reasons of hygiene and tradition, taking books into the restroom has generally been discouraged, and only a very small fraction of people actually do it.
Even though reading the newspaper in the restroom was seen back in the Showa era, it never became a widespread modern practice.
More importantly, the "Mariko Aoki phenomenon" frequently happens to people who never read in the restroom, and even to those who rarely read books in general.
Because of this, theories in Japan lean toward environmental and physiological triggers rather than conditioned reflexes.
These include the chemical stimulation from printing ink and paper, the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system in a quiet setting, and the physical posture of standing while browsing bookshelves.
