Abstract
This paper described a psychophysical study on inconspicuous but distinguishable characteristic body movements while a person encountered an uncomfortable spatial relation with the other. Based on empirical findings, this paper revealed the possibility of utilizing that the characteristic movement which met our three criteria as a new effective indicator in proxemics research.
We conducted four experiments, in which twenty-two participants in total participated. By combining the stop-distance procedure and motion capture technology, 3D movements of a participant’s upper body were precisely obtained during a process of spatial invasion. All the obtained motion data were analyzed according to the detection criteria and the detection procedure based on time-frequency analysis. Firstly, the analysis revealed that at least some sort of the characteristic movements occurred at plural landmarks during a spatial invasion. Secondly, in most cases, those characteristic movements specifically happened before explicit physical reactions including the utterance of “stop”. Thirdly, the results suggested that the characteristics of those movements were different from that of natural vibrations during “quiet standing” and from the movements during “just an utterance”. Expanded studies toward a new theory development are underway.
