What do each of the four zones of personal space identified by Hall communicate about
interpersonal relationships?
What will be an ideal response?
Allowing someone into your intimate zone suggests that you have or desire an intimate
relationship with the other person. If this is not the case, we will feel uncomfortable and
ill at ease. The personal zone is reserved for people with whom we have a close, yet not
intimate relationship, friends, family, and some acquaintances. Those, whom we do not
know well, such as acquaintances, will probably be kept at a greater distance than
family and friends. Social space reflects a more formal or professional relationship.
Public space reflects relatively impersonal relationships.
