是什么决定了你选择与某人站得多近？为什么有些人比其他人更喜欢更远的距离？我们假设，一个重要的因素是一个人的感官敏感度，即一个人对附近的视觉刺激、噪音、触摸或气味的敏感度。这项研究描述了人际距离(IPD)偏好的行为、荷尔蒙和电生理指标与感觉敏感性水平的关系。使用生态现实任务和脑电(EEG)，我们发现感觉敏感性水平预测IPD偏好，即越敏感的人喜欢的距离越远。此外，电生理学证据显示，感觉敏感度较高的人在接近刺激时表现出更多的阿尔法抑制，这强化了这样一种观点，即早期感觉皮质的兴奋性与一个人站得多近的社会决定有关。这些结果提供了证据，表明人类社会互动的核心指标受到个人感官敏感度水平的影响。
What determines how close you choose to stand to someone? Why do some people prefer farther distances than others? We hypothesized that an important factor is one’s sensory sensitivity level, i.e. how sensitive one is to nearby visual stimulation, noise, touch or smell. This study characterizes the behavioral, hormonal and electrophysiological metrics of interpersonal distance (IPD) preferences in relation to levels of sensory sensitivity. Using both an ecologically realistic task and electroencephalogram (EEG), we found that sensory sensitivity levels predicted IPD preferences, such that the more sensitive one is the farther distance they prefer. Furthermore, electrophysiological evidence revealed that individuals with higher sensory sensitivity show more alpha suppression for approaching stimuli, strengthening the notion that early sensory cortical excitability is involved in one’s social decision of how close to stand to another. The results provide evidence that a core human metric of social interaction is influenced by individual levels of sensory sensitivity.
