The Development of Personal Space in Primary School Children.

Willis, Frank N.; And Others

Environmental Psychology and Nonverbal Behavior, v3 n4 p195-204 Sum 1979

Personal space in school cafeteria queues was observed for children in kindergarten through sixth grade in public schools. It was found that children segregate themselves both racially and sexually in the queues. In schools that were racially mixed, children stood closer to same-sex children than to other-sex children.
