Based off proxemics, the study of a persons use of space, Edward hall created the American proxemic zones. There are four proxemic zones. The first one is the intimate zone, ranging between zero and eighteen inches. We typically reserve this zone for our intimate partners. Behaviors that are typical at this zone are kissing, hugging, whispering, and dancing.
This is a distance kept between couples and intimate partners. A personal distance is the distances kept between friends or acquaintances and is approximately 18 inches to 4 feet.

Introduction to Cross-Cultural Psychology Alice F. Brown Psy 450 May 21, 2013 Shally Vaid Introduction to Cross-Cultural Psychology Culture is defined as a set of attitudes, behaviors, and symbols that are shared by a group of people and passed down from generation to generation (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). Cultural psychology is about finding links that are meaningful between a culture and how an individual thinks who lives in the same culture (Shiraev & Levy, 2010).
