    Human Figure (Ht) content scales predict interpersonal distance. Anxiety and hostility content scales significantly correlated with actual distance behavior, supporting the inkblot scales' validity in assessing social interaction.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Social Psychology
    • Personality Assessment

    Background:

    • Interpersonal distance is a key aspect of social interaction.
    • Previous research suggests links between psychological content and spatial behavior.
    • Human Figure (Ht) content scales from projective tests may offer insights into interpersonal distance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between Ht content scales and interpersonal distance.
    • To determine if specific content (anxiety, hostility, human, barrier) predicts distance behavior.
    • To assess the construct validity of inkblot scales in measuring interpersonal distance.

    Main Methods:

    • Four Ht content scales were analyzed.
    • Correlations were examined between content scales and both projective and live measures of interpersonal distance.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Regression analyses were used to predict interpersonal distance from content scales.

    • Main Results:

    • All four Ht content scales significantly related to projective interpersonal distance.
    • Anxiety and hostility content scales significantly correlated with live distance behavior.
    • Projective and live measures of interpersonal distance showed a significant positive correlation.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings support the construct validity of Ht content scales for assessing interpersonal distance.
    • Anxiety and hostility content are particularly relevant to actual distance behaviors.
    • Inkblot scales provide a valid method for understanding social interaction dynamics.
