TLDR
Emotional involvement was found to be inversely proportional to the square root of subjective distance, when other variables were kept constant, and the result of a previous study by Ekman and Bratfisch is thus further confirmed.About:

Distance estimation in cities
David V. Canter,Stephen Tagg +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explain the way in which this discrete experience is necessary for behaviour to be appropriate, effective, or adequate in relation to the physical environment, and explain how to proceed in a continuous fashion.

Perceived Distance as a Function of Direction in the City
TL;DR: For instance, Lee as mentioned in this paper took his M.A. degree in psychology at Magdalene College, Cambridge, after war service with the R.F. and R.N.

Affect as a Decision-Making System of the Present
TL;DR: This paper found that the affective system of judgment and decision-making is inherently anchored in the present, and that affective feelings are relied on more (weighted more heavily) in judgments whose outcomes and targets are closer to the present than in those whose outcomes/targets are temporally more distant.

Personal space invasions in the lavatory: suggestive evidence for arousal
TL;DR: The hypothesis that personal space invasions produce arousal was investigated in a field experiment in a men's lavatory provided a setting where norms for privacy were salient, where personal space invasion could occur in the case of men urinating, where the opportunity for compensatory responses to invasion were minimal, and where proximityinduced arousal could be measured.

Problems in Cognitive Distance Implications for Cognitive Mapping
TL;DR: In this paper, three experiments were conducted on cognitive distance in order to investigate the problems of intransitivity, non-commutativity, and the consistency of estimates across different methodologies.

SALTNESS, SWEETNESS, AND PREFERENCE: A study of quantitative relations in individual subjects
Gösta Ekman,Caj A. Akesson +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that power functions described the individual relations between sodium chloride and sucrose concentration and the subjective variables of saltness and sweetness, and that there was a great variation over individuals with regard to the form of the saltness/pre preference and the sweetness/preference relations.

Scales for subjective distance
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that subjective distance is a power function of the objective distance and the exponent of the function varies with the stimulus range, and that with increasing stimulus range the exponent has a tendency to decrease.
