两项实验研究了小型社会实体（群体和个人）的空间特性。在一项现场实验中，走廊的行人经过一条空长凳，一个人，或 2、3 或 4 人一组，放置在走廊凹处的壁龛中。行人与群体的距离比与个人的距离更远，与个人的距离比与空长凳的距离更远。最近的行人与 4 人群体的距离比 2 人或 3 人群体的距离更远，而最远的行人则不受群体规模的影响。在纸笔复制中，20 名本科生想象他们沿着走廊行走，经过不同大小和配置的群体，结果表明，随着群体变大，偏转也会增加，并表明群体大小效应普遍适用于群体的不同配置（直线与封闭圆圈）。研究结果支持这样的假设，即互动的群体创建了一个社交空间边界，使其他人远离该群体，并且该边界的延伸随着社会单位的规模而增加。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2016 APA，保留所有权利）
Two experiments investigated spatial properties of small social entities (groups and individuals). In a field experiment, hallway pedestrians passed by an empty bench, 1 person, or groups of 2, 3, or 4 persons placed in an alcove recessed off the hallway. Pedestrians walked further away from groups than from individuals, and from individuals than from an empty bench. The closest pedestrians stayed further away from a group of 4 than groups of 2 or 3, while the most distant pedestrians were unaffected by the size of the group. A pencil-and-paper replication where 20 undergraduates imagined they were walking along a hallway past groups of different size and configuration showed that deflection increased as groups became larger and indicated that the group size effect generalized to different configurations of the group (straight line vs closed circle). Findings support the hypothesis that interacting groups create a social space boundary that deflects others away from the group and that the extension of this boundary increases with the size of the social unit.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
