Personal space in life We all know personal space is very important to everyone in our daliy life. Most people value their personal space and when their personal space is encroached ,they will feel discomfort, anger, nervous or anxiety . Permitting a person to enter personal space and entering somebody else's personal space are indicators of perception of the relationship between the people. However, in nowadays society, especially in crowded urban counties, it is quite difficult to maintain personal space. In our reaserch , we found something about the personal space between salesclerks and customers.The average distance in this setting, I think it should be divide into two parts. When customers went into a shop, they wanted to buy something then they needed help of salesclerks, at this time, the personal space was quite close. Because they needed the suggestion or guide. But sometimes they just wanted to look everything by yourself. The personal space should keep a fit distance that made them feel comfortable. When the salesclerks come too close the customers, the customers felt discomfort, they would tell the salesclerks that they did not need help, the close distance made them anxious and asked the salesclerks hold off. If the salesclerks didn't listen to them, they would leave the shop. The reaction showed that if customers need the personal space, the salesclerks should give them the enough space to shopping. Following customers and making them discomfort just make them flee the shop. Also we found the culture appear to be a factor in personal space. In America, the salesclerks and customers always kept a distance. Because American people value personal space. But in China, when customers are shopping, the salesclerks always like following them. somatimes it will make people angry or anxious. There are many gender differences in the use of space. The shopping style of men is quick and exact. Men do not like looking around a thing for a long time, sowhen they want to buy something, they need the salesclerks' suggestion, so they can find the thing they need quickly. Men's space can be more smaller. Women always like buying thing through contrast. And they like shopping with friends or spouse. So they really do not like salesclerks violating their personal space. 不知道是不是的
