Effects of Induced Status on Spacing and Seating Position in a Dyad.

Latta, R. Michael; Kahn, Arnold

The effects of induced status differences on (1) seating position and (2) interpersonal distance from a confederate of a given status level were investigated. Using behavioral measures, induced status differences were found to influence both the amount of interpersonal distance and the quality of space. The results suggest simulation techniques and pencil and paper responses are consistent with behavioral measures. (Author)
