The space surrounding the body, and the regulation of this buffer zone play a central role in adaptive behavior, with direct implications for psychopathology. The physical distance that we choose to maintain between ourselves and others for social comfort is known as Interpersonal Distance (IPD), whereas the action space that marks the perceptual border between the self and the external world is known as Peripersonal Space (PPS ). While both IPD and PPS represent personal space, they are distinct constructs, each associated with different methodologies. Here we review the existing literature on IPD and PPS to elucidate their distinct and common contributions to psychiatric conditions including schizophrenia, autism, anxiety, and others. Altered representation and regulation of IPD and PPS were associated with clinical symptoms and social impairments across a wide range of psychiatric disorders, underscoring the important role of the self-other boundary and personal space regulation in adaptive social behavior. Future research should clarify the relationship between IPD and PPS and specify risk factors for self-other boundary dysregulation and associated psychopathologies.
身体周围的空间以及对该缓冲区的调节在适应行为中起着核心作用，对精神病理学有直接影响。我们为了社交舒适而选择与他人保持的身体距离被称为人际距离（IPD），而标志着自我与外部世界之间感知边界的活动空间则被称为个人空间（PPS）。虽然 IPD 和 PPS 都代表个人空间，但它们是不同的结构，各自与不同的方法相关联。在这里，我们回顾了关于 IPD 和 PPS 的现有文献，以阐明它们在包括精神分裂症、自闭症、焦虑症等在内的各种精神疾病中的独特和共同贡献。在广泛的精神障碍中，IPD 和 PPS 的改变表示和调节与临床症状和社交障碍有关，突出了自我-他人边界和个人空间调节在适应性社会行为中的重要作用。未来的研究应阐明 IPD 和 PPS 之间的关系，并明确自我-他人边界失调及其相关精神病理学的风险因素。
