  3. Pro’s and Con’s of Personal Space

  4. Pro’s • Easily Learned • Relay information effectively • Demonstrates awareness and control

  5. Con’s • Invisible boundaries • Boundaries differ • Constant awareness • Can be invaded • Accidental • Purposeful • Different “bubbles”

  6. Proxemics • Proxemics – “the study of human use of space within the context of culture” (Brown). • Different culture use proxemics differently. • Example, in the U.S, people stand a handshake width apart or more when talking. In the Middle East, people stand less than a foot apart (Conaway & Morrison, 2004). • Proxemics can cause communication barriers between those who use it differently.

  7. Definition of Informal Space • The personal spaces around us. • Three types: • Intimate Space • Social/Consultative Spaces • Public Space

  8. Intimate Space • Our “bubble” • This space may only be entered by those close to us, such as family or close friends • This is the space invaded by people of another culture with different proxemic views.

  9. Social/Consultative Space • Comfortable distance. • Easy distance for day-to-day communication. • This space is used for acquaintances and strangers.

  10. Public Space • An impolite distance. • People standing this far away may be perceived as rude. • Too far away to establish meaningful conversation.

  11. CONCLUSION • Be aware of others spaces. • Do not stand too close but also do not stand too far. • Remember other cultures when thinking about space.
