Distance Matters: Physical Space and Social Impact.

Latane, Bibb; And Others

Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, v21 n8 p795-805 Aug 1995

Studies of college students and citizens of south Florida, United States, students in Shanghai, China, and an international sample of social psychologists show that social influence, measured by the frequency of memorable interactions, is heavily determined by distance. Confirms one principle from Latane's 1981 theory of social impact. (JBJ)
