Sažetak
Personal space of physically abused children (N=36) and non-abused children (N=38), age 7-9, was assessed using stop-distance technique. All children were approached by female and male experimenter from four directions. The personal space of abused children is significantly larger than that of their "non-abused" peers. Boys and girls do not significantly differ in the preferred size of personal space The personal space of abused children is significantly larger when approached by male person. Such effect is not found in control group. Interaction of sex of subject × sex of approaching person yields significant results only when children are approached frontally and this significance can be observed in both subject groups. In all, abused children, presumably due to their traumatic experiences, demonstrate stronger need for personal space. Author finds these results to be consistent with protective function of personal space.
