The force exerted by the floor of an elevator on the foot of a person standing there, is more than his weight , if the elevator is

When elevator goes up, then equation of motion is R−mg−ma⇒R=m(g+a)  i.e., apparent weight > real weight.When elevator goes down and slowing down means retarding a is replaed by -a, then equation of motion is mg−R=m-a⇒R=m(g+a)  i.e., apparent weight > real weight.
