What Else Shapes Our Space?
Personal space isn’t just about gender. Age, culture, and even height play roles:
Children stand closer to adults they trust.
Shorter people tend to stand closer so their faces are visible.
Contact cultures (Latin America, Middle East) stand closer than non-contact cultures (Japan, Scandinavia).
Example: A child's space is smaller than as he grows older, shorter female speaking with tall male.
