29、overns how closely one person stands to another. People who feel close will be close, though the actual distances will vary between cultures. For Americans we can discern four main categories of distance: intimate, personal, social and public. Intimate ranges from direct contact to about 45 centimet

30、ers. This is for the closest relationships such as those between husband and wife. Beyond this comes personal distance. This stands at between 45 and 80 centimeters. It is the most usual distance maintained for conversations between friends and relatives. Social distance covers people who work toget

31、her or are meeting at social gatherings. Distances here tend to be kept between 1.30 to 2 meters. Beyond this comes public distance, such as that between a lecturer and his audience. All cultures draw lines between what is an appropriate and what is an inappropriate social distance for different typ

32、es of relationship. They differ, however, in where they draw these lines. Look at an international reception with representatives from the US and Arabic countries conversing and you will see the Americans pirouetting backwards around the hall pursued by their Arab partners. The Americans will be try

33、ing to keep the distance between themselves and their partners which they have grown used to regarding as “normal“. They probably will not even notice themselves trying to adjust the distance between themselves and their partners, though they may have vague feeling that their Arab neighbors are bein

34、g a bit “pushy“. The Arab, on the other hand, coming from a culture where much closer distance is the norm, may be feeling that the Americans are being “stand-offish“. Finding themselves happier standing close to and even touching those they are in conversation with they will persistently pursue the

35、 Americans round the room trying to close the distance between them. The appropriateness of physcal contact varies between different cultures too. One study of the number of times people conversing in coffee shops over a one hour period showed the following interesting variations: London, 0; Florida

36、, 2; Paris, 10; and Puerto Rico 180. Not only does it vary between societies, however, it also varies between different subcultures within one society. Young people in Britain, for example, are more likely to touch and hug friends than are the older generation. This may be partly a matter of growing

37、 older, but it also reflects the fact that the older generation grew up at a time when touching was less common for all age groups. Forty years ago, for example, footballers would never hug and kiss one another on the field after a goal as they do today.（分数：10.00）(1).In proxemics, _ governs the stan

Words do provide us wit

41、h some information, but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone. Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message. Sometimes we can gain

42、insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words. We don“t always say what we mean or mean what we say. Sometimes our words don“t mean anything except “ I“m letting off some steam. I don“t really want you to pay close attention to what I“m saying. Just pay attention to what I

43、“m feeling. “ Mostly we mean several things at once. A person wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner, “This step has to be fixed before I“ll buy. “ The owner says, “ It“s been like that for years.“ Actually, the step hasn“t been like that for years, but the unspoken message is “ I don

44、“t want to fix it. We put up with it. Why can“t you?“ The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message in terms of who said it, when it occurred, the related conditions or situations, and how it was said. When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning

45、. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing. But one couple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss. The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior. A friend“s unusually docile beha

46、vior may only be understood by noting that it was preceded by situations that required an abnormal amount of assertiveness. Some responses may be directly linked to a developing pattern of responses and defy logic. For example, a person who says “No!“ to a series of charges like “You“re dumb,“ “You“

47、re lazy,“ and “You“re dishonest,“ may also say “No!“ and try to justify his or her response if the next statement is “And you“re good looking. “ We would do well to listen for how messages are presented. The words, “It sure has been nice to have you over,“ can be said with emphasis and excitement or ritualistically. The phrase can be said once or repeated several times. And the meanings we associate with the phrase will change accordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importance; sometimes the more we say somethin
