Abstract

For the first step to investigate comfortable volumes of the living space from psychological view points, the author adopted personal space defined by R. Sommer.<BR>The experiment was persuited to grasp minimum and comfortable personal distances by face-to-face angle and the effect of such personal factors as sex, stature etc. upon personal distances, and the following results were obtained : <BR>(1) Personal distances are influenced by an approacher's sex in case of a female's subject-smaller distances by the same sex and larger distances by the opposite sex-, whereas a male's subject has no such tendency.<BR>(2) Nine cm or more shorter subjects than approachers take relatively smaller personal distances compared with 9 cm or more taller subjects than approachers or subjects having approximately same stature (within 2 cm difference) as approachers.<BR>(3) Personal distances are influenced by the approach direction of an approacher against a subject. i.e. an approach from forward takes larger distances whereas an approach from backward takes smaller ones.
