Abstract

In order to prevent COVID-19, acrylic panels are sometimes used as partitions between people. In this study, the effects of the partition were examined in an experiment measuring interpersonal distance. The author also examined the effects of posture on personal space (sitting and standing). The results showed that the effects of eye contact were similar to those of previous studies even with partitions. Psychologically, it was clear that it provided a sense of security to the experimental participants. However, the results of the anisotropy of personal space were unique, and the effects of posture (sitting and standing) were also different from previous studies. The reasons for these results need to be continued to be investigated, such as the effect of the inner laboratory space, the effect of the furniture, and also the issue of individual differences.
