An examination of the influence of routine behaviour on people's feelings of safety, confidence, and well‐being shows, as hypothesized, that these positive emotions increase with routine behaviour. Five studies were conducted on flights, in different neighbourhoods of the city, in the laboratory performing a routine or a non‐routine task, and in seating behaviour in university classrooms. In all studies, participants reported more feelings of safety, confidence, and well‐being in routine situations. Thus, routine enhances feelings of safety, confidence, and well‐being in many aspects of everyday life.
