| AbstractOne can invade a person`s personal space and observe the person`s reactions to the invasion. This study focused on 60 Caucasian and African American, college-aged, female participants. The independent variable was the amount of space between the researcher and participant`s reaction sparticipant. The researcher manipulated the space variable by sitting more than two arm`s length or less than one arm`s length from the participant. The dependent variable, the participants` verbal and non-verbal reactions, were measured by tabulating the core based on verbal and non-verbal scales. We predicted that the invasion of personal space of a college-age female would result in negative verbal and non-verbal reactions. Our evidence supported this, finding that an invasion of personal space negatively affected participants` verbal and non-verbal reactions. We concluded that personal space invasion has a noticeable effect on an individual`s verbal and non-verbal reactions to that invasion. |
