Die „angenehmste Entfernung“ zur Betrachtung sozialer Objekte

Die „angenehmste Entfernung“ zur Betrachtung sozialer Objekte Three experiments were conducted in which subjects (39 students) were to choose the distance from various stimulus objects which appeared “most comfortable” to them. It was shown that subjects approached actual persons more closely than they did photographs of persons or objects. Male subjects approached female stimulus objects more closely than they did males. There was a tendency of greater approach if the stimulus persons gazed at the subjects. The “most comfortable” distance was specific for the individual and remained stable over a period of several weeks. It also depended upon the spatial frame of reference; in this connection the development of sets could be shown. The results were discussed in relation to a model for the equilibrium of social forces from Argyle and Dean. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Psychological Research Springer Journals

Abstract

Three experiments were conducted in which subjects (39 students) were to choose the distance from various stimulus objects which appeared “most comfortable” to them. It was shown that subjects approached actual persons more closely than they did photographs of persons or objects. Male subjects approached female stimulus objects more closely than they did males. There was a tendency of greater approach if the stimulus persons gazed at the subjects. The “most comfortable” distance was specific for the individual and remained stable over a period of several weeks. It also depended upon the spatial frame of reference; in this connection the development of sets could be shown. The results were discussed in relation to a model for the equilibrium of social forces from Argyle and Dean.
