Prediction of Behavioral Personal Space from Simulated Personal Space

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1973
Simulated and behavioral personal-space measures were administered to 170 male Ss. 36 scores obtained from 3 simulated measures were used to predict both unawareness and awareness behavioral personal space. A factor analysis of the simulated measures showed that they were rather distinct. Thus, a linear combination of them enhanced prediction.

Personal Space and Personality Characteristics: A Non-Confirmation

Psychological Reports, 1970
It was hypothesized that greater spatial distances would be used under the stress of talking about a difficult topic and by introverted and deviant Ss. In Study 1, 52 women completed an introversion-extraversion scale and half were assigned an easy or difficult topic to discuss with another student (an accomplice).

Creation of a personal space with HyWebMap

Proceedings ACS/IEEE International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications, 2002
The Web is an open, evolutionary and heterogeneous information space. To exploit this heterogeneous space and better orientate the reader, we developed the HyWebMap system which allows orientation in the space visited by using a benchmark tool, a browser, a history tool and a global image display based on an interactive map.

A Middleware for Personal Smart Spaces

2010 IEEE 34th Annual Computer Software and Applications Conference Workshops, 2010
Ad hoc pervasive computing provides an attractive vision for future computing and smart spaces where digital and physical devices interact and share services seamlessly and transparently. In ad hoc pervasive environments, low cost, short-range wireless devices such as PDAs, mobile phones, and portable entertainment devices can provide instance access ...

Personality and Demographic Correlates of Simulated Personal Space

The Journal of Psychology, 1973
Summary Personality, demographic, and simulated personal space measures were administered to 170 male college students. Correlations of the personality and demographic variables with the personal space measures indicated that Ss with a smaller personal space tended to be less aggressive, be more tolerant of ambiguity, be more self-acceptant, and have a

The personal construction of information space

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 2000
The present article describes the use of Repertory Grid methodology as a means of externalizing an individual's view of information space. The method is described with a single participant, and appears to offer a viable means of exploring the concept of information space.
