These different types of psychological distance have been found to greatly correlate with one another. [15] This was shown through testing of temporal distance to see if this would also affect the perception of social distance.

Data have been collated into distance bands (either collected as such, or combined after collection to improve model fitting). Detection probability decreases with distance from center line (y = 0). The drop-off of detectability with increasing distance from the transect line is modeled using a detection function g(y) (here y is distance from ...
