近体距离是行动和社会互动的关键组成部分。最近的研究表明，近个人空间（可达性距离与对象的行动）和人际空间（舒适距离与人互动）共享共同的机制，并反映了刺激的社会效价。社会心理学文献表明，有关道德的信息至关重要，因为它影响印象的形成和接近-回避他人的意图。在这里，我们探讨是否peripersonal/人际空间调制的道德信息。36名参与者与道德/不道德/中性句子描述的男性/女性虚拟同盟者进行互动。身体空间的调节是通过可达距离和舒适距离来测量的，而参与者站着不动或走向虚拟联盟。结果表明，距离扩大与不道德描述的同伙和收缩与道德描述的同伙。这种模式在两个空间都存在，但在舒适距离上更强。与具身认知方法一致，研究结果表明高级社会认知过程与感觉运动空间过程有关。(C)2015年由Elsevier B.

Near body distance is a key component of action and social interaction. Recent research has shown that peripersonal space (reachability-distance for acting with objects) and interpersonal space (comfort-distance for interacting with people) share common mechanisms and reflect the social valence of stimuli. The social psychological literature has demonstrated that information about morality is crucial because it affects impression formation and the intention to approach-avoid others. Here we explore whether peripersonal/interpersonal spaces are modulated by moral information. Thirty-six participants interacted with male/female virtual confederates described by moral/immoral/neutral sentences. The modulation of body space was measured by reachability-distance and comfort-distance while participants stood still or walked toward virtual confederates. Results showed that distance expanded with immorally described confederates and contracted with morally described confederates. This pattern was present in both spaces, although it was stronger in comfort-distance. Consistent with an embodied cognition approach, the findings suggest that high-level socio-cognitive processes are linked to sensorimotor-spatial processes. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V.
