Hall's Proxemics

Hall’s Proxemics is the study of how humans use space in social interactions. It shows that people maintain different physical distances depending on the relationship and context—closer for friends and intimate partners, farther for strangers or formal settings. These personal space boundaries vary across cultures and situations, influencing comfort and communication. Recognizing proxemics helps us understand social behavior, nonverbal cues, and how space affects interactions, ensuring respectful and effective communication in diverse environments.
