Directions:

Please find one other person (friend, acquaintance, classmate, coworker) to help you finish this assignment (preferably someone you are not interpersonal close with, otherwise it would be too easy). Using a measuring tape, or approximate the distance, standing apart like the distance, I want you to have a conversation with this person (you can talk about what you did last weekend or will do next weekend as a starting point-or anything else you choose (the topic is not important).

Make sure you time your conversations, keeping it to two (2) minutes and under. Utilize and apply the Four (4) Space/Distance Proxemics we discussed from Chapter Six (Public, Social, Personal, and Intimate space).

Start with the Public space (standing 12ft between you and your partner, try to have a conversation for two (2) mins).

Then do that for Social space, and so on, moving closer, and lastly, the intimate space.

Important step: for the intimate space/distance, you and your partner will have to apply ONE nonverbal rule violation (ex. not making eye contact, unwanted touching like placing your hand on their face, etc.).

1. What were your reactions to conversing at the Public Distance? How did the distance make a difference in your conversation (degree of intimacy, vocal volume, number of exchanges)?

2. How did this change when you moved into the Social Distance? Was this the most comfortable distance?

3. What changes occurred as you moved into the Personal Distance? Was this the most comfortable space?

4. How did you respond to the Intimate Distance? How might you have reacted had this exercise been done on the first day? How did your posture change at this distance? Did you did anything to compensate for the closeness?

5. How well do you know your partner? To what extent did this make a difference in your level of comfort? (Male/female dyads, male/male dyads, female/female dyads make a difference?) How might culture make a difference? Which nonverbal functions did you use?

6. How did you react to the violation your partner enacted? How did your partner react to your violation? Do you think your reactions would have differed with someone you either knew better or didn't know as well? Which nonverbal violations seemed to generate the most reaction in your opinion?
