ABSTRACT
Spatial behaviour consists of proximity, orientation, territorial behaviour, and movement in a physical setting. As we have seen already, there are physical limitations on proximity and orientation due to the characteristics of our organs for sending and receiving signals. However, there is a range within which variation is possible, and this variation is one of the main ways of expressing friendly-hostile attitudes to other people. Spatial behaviour also expresses certain properties of personality, and it is used as an interaction signal, for example to begin and to end encounters.
