“…Distance is greater for violent offenders (Newman & Pollack, 1973), schizophrenics (Horowitz et al, 1964;Sommer, 1959), and cigarette smokers (Kunzendorf & Denney, 1982). Proxemic distance decreases with psychotherapy among schizophrenics (Booraem & Flowers, 1972;Horowitz, 1968) and with repeated weekly assessments among violent offenders (Kinzel, 1970). It increases in stressful situations (Dosey & Meisels, 1969;Leipold, 1963), in cross-racial encounters (Booraem, Flowers, Bodner, & Satterfield, 1977;Frankel & Barrett, 197 l), and when preceded by insulting interpersonal encounters, particularly when the insulter is the proxemic intruder (O'Neal, Brunault, Carifio, Troutwine, & Epstein, 1980).…”
