Abstract
We examined the relationship between a sense of alienation and the gap in psychological distance in friendship. Psychological distance was measured by an original projective test technique. The psychological distance of the real and the ideal were measured by placing a sticky dot on a 9.5-cm line printed on a piece of paper and then drawing a circle along the line. By this method, the respondent was asked to quantify their own psychological distance from a friend and the friend's psychological distance by guessing the friend's feelings. This technique is visual and easily understood. We considered that the act of physically placing a sticker gave further emphasis to the act of "placing" the person. Subjects in the group that did not have a gap in psychological distance felt less alienated than those with a gap. Lack of self-expression, lack of mutual understanding, and physical factors were considered to be the determinants of the presence of a gap in psychological distance. Moreover, some people felt the need to distance themselves so as not to interfere.
