Variations in personal space preferences across cultures describe which concept?

This is about how personal space varies between cultures, reflecting differences in proxemics—the unspoken rules about how close we stand or sit to others during interaction. Across cultures, comfortable distances change, so recognizing this helps you interact respectfully with clients from diverse backgrounds and adapt your approach in a skincare or massage setting. The idea isn’t about how people behave with strangers in general or about gender roles or products; it’s specifically about the cultural patterns that govern how much distance is considered appropriate.
