Identify the role that each of the four spatial zones identified by Hall plays in 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.
