Selected effects of high spatial density were investigated with 26 boys, serving as their own controls and undergoing alternate confinements in high and relatively low spatial density. Measured effects were changes in minimal aversion threshold values of white sound, projective measures of desire to alter room size, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. High spatial density increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure and projective measures of desire to alter room size but did not affect minimal aversion threshold values. Semi-projective measures of personal space requirements were obtained prior to experimental trials. Analysis showed a significant interaction of minimal aversion threshold values with requirements for personal space; the minimal aversion threshold values of subjects requiring large personal space tended to decrease following confinement under high spatial density. The interaction of personal space with projected measures of desire to alter room size was not significant. High spatial density may, then, exert adverse effects on blood pressure and may induce sensory overload conditions in individuals requiring large personal space.
对26名男孩进行了高空间密度的选定效应研究，他们作为自身对照，在高空间密度和相对低空间密度环境中交替受限。测量的效应包括白噪声最小厌恶阈值的变化、改变房间大小愿望的投射测量以及收缩压和舒张压。高空间密度会升高收缩压和舒张压，并增加改变房间大小愿望的投射测量，但不影响最小厌恶阈值。在实验试验之前获得了个人空间需求的半投射测量。分析表明，最小厌恶阈值与个人空间需求之间存在显著交互作用；在高空间密度环境下受限后，需要较大个人空间的受试者的最小厌恶阈值往往会降低。个人空间与改变房间大小愿望的投射测量之间的交互作用不显著。那么，高空间密度可能会对血压产生不利影响，并可能在需要较大个人空间的个体中诱发感觉过载状况。
