Abstract

This study investigated the effects of race and sex on interpersonal distance preferences of interviewees in a dyadic interview setting with a stranger. Interviewees in male‐male dyads established greater interpersonal distance than did interviewees in any dyad including at least one female. White interviewees established greater interpersonal distance from black interviewers than any other racial combination. Female‐black interviewees established closer interpersonal distance to all interviewers than did any other sex‐race interviewee combination.
