Hall's Model of Proxemics
Hall's Model of Proxemics describes how people use physical space to communicate non-verbally. It identifies four main zones: intimate (close contacts like hugging), personal (friends and family), social (work or group interactions), and public (public speaking or crowds). These zones vary by culture, personal preference, and context, influencing comfort and interaction. The model helps us understand why people stand closer or farther apart in different situations, aiding effective communication and respectful space use.
