	CONFLICT AND SOCIAL DISTANCE: SAME AND OTHER; SIMILARITY AND DIFFERENCE
		But as social scientists trying to understand social interaction and conflict, our concern is not with what is manifested only in one person, with the unrecurring, unpatterned, unique person, but with the common parts of his qualities and quantities, with people in general.
		The distances between people in the common space of all these components describe their likeness; the distances on these separate components, such as science or wealth, describe in which way two people are similar or different.
		These are the distances in religion, in science, in ethics, and so on for the cultural components, and in statuses and class for the social components.

	New Balkan Politics - Issue 2
		Social distance is the conative, behavioral dimension of prejudices and stereotypes that measures non-acceptance of particular relations with other ethnic groups.
		The emphasized social distance, as an expression of negative ethnic prejudices towards an ethnic group was, as a rule, a sign of ethnocentrism.
		Regarding the separate eight social situations from the Social distance scale, it was found with statistical significance, that in the first seven social situations, the Macedonians were less socially distanced from the Albanians.

	Journal of Social Work Values and Ethics - Ethics Complaints in Social Work Practice: A Rural — Urban Comparison
		Given that rural social workers appear to be at greater ethical risk than their counterparts in other communities in the areas of confidentiality and dual relationships, we might expect to see more reports of violations in these areas.
		Social Workers become part of the community system and their actions and affiliations are important factors in how they are evaluated by the local community (Ginsberg, 2005).
		Rural social workers must have a plan for dealing with dual relationships, and training on dual relationships must be a part of formal education for social workers practicing in rural areas.

	Assessing Social Presence In Asynchronous Text-based Computer Conferencing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Social presence is defined as the ability of learners to project themselves socially and affectively into a community of inquiry.
		The aggregate social presence density rating for transcript B was considerably higher than that for transcript A. This confirmed the intuitive impressions that we formed while reading the transcripts of the sociability and educational effectiveness of the two conferences.
		Social presence density calculation allows for the formulation and testing of hypotheses in which social presence is used as a dependent or independent variable.

	Yanomamo Social Distance (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Yanomamo social process is predominantly concerned with the formation of groups and the regulation of intergroup relations through alliance and warfare.
		There is an gradation of social distance within patrilineages, and less closely related "brothers" may develop hostile relationships in competition over women.
		Thus the character of exchange, whether it is hostile or benevolent and whether it involves trading, feasting, or marriage, determines social distance in turn.

		Figure 10, within-group distances are shown in the appropriate group colour, while between-group distances are shown in yellow-green (for both to soc.religion.islam), orange (for both to soc.religion.christian), and brown (for soc.religion.islam to soc.religion.christian).
		Naturally, link distance within these central cores is different from the organisation as a whole, but that does not affect the goal of this section, which is to understand the impact of missing data.
		In multicultural organisations, it is useful to assess cultural distance (using whatever measure is convenient) and study its relationship with link distance, using exactly the same method as for activity-similarity distance in the previous section.

	Conceptual Distance in Social Network Analysis
		Social Network Analysis [1] is an approach to studying organisations focusing on analysing the networks of relationships between people and/or groups as the most important aspect.
		In the extreme case, disconnecting one node sets distance to infinity and hence closeness centrality of all nodes to 0 (this problem is noted in [1], but no solution is given there).
		The smaller this distance between two people, the more similar is their work (as measured by the relevance of the 15 topics in the study), and the closer together they are in Figure 16.

	Emory S. Bogardus: Social Distance and its Origin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		SOCIAL distance refers to "the grades and degrees of understanding and intimacy which characterize pre-social and social relations generally."[1] The following experiments [2] were conducted to find out just how and why these grades of understanding and intimacy vary.
		In the case of nearly every one of the 119 persons who placed the Turks at the head of their antipathy columns tradition and accepted opinion were the main, if not the only, factor operating.
		Although there may be a recognition that the given experiences have been related to the less socially developed members of, the race in question or from non-typical individuals the aversion is likely to spread to the whole race.

	PERCEPTION AND SOCIAL DISTANCE
		This excludes from social behavior, for example, kicking a rock (unless invested with meaning in a social context), scratching one's ear, or flagellating oneself as a consequence of some serious psychological disorder.
		Remember that i and j are located on these components in i's dynamic field; therefore, the perceptual basis of these (vector) positions must be logically consistent with the nature of the components upon which i's psychological forces locate j.
		Technically, if one had a matrix of perceived distance magnitudes of column objects (j's) from row percipients (i's) on a conservative-radical component, the matrix could not be reduced to this one component even though all magnitudes were originally generated from it.

	CSISS Classics - Georg Simmel: The Sociology of Space
		The chapter centers around spatial themes including (a) the socially relevant aspects of space, (b) the effect of spatial conditions upon social interaction, and (c) upon forms of social, physical, and psychological distance.
		In contrast to natural boundaries, the social boundary is "not a spatial fact with sociological consequences, but a sociological fact that is formed spatially," meaning boundaries provide special configurations for experience and interaction.
		All social interactions could be characterized by their relative degree of proximity and distance among individuals and groups.

	Park - The Work - Social Distance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The concept of "social distance," which Park derived from Simmel, seemed to him of much greater importance for an understanding of contemporary race relations.
		Racial prejudice and social distance, Park argued forcefully, must not be confused with racial antagonism and conflict.
		The Negro is rising in America and the meas- ure of the antagonism he encounters is, in some very real sense, the measure of his progress." Race prejudice refers to the normal process of categorizing individuals according to the position they occupy in the traditional order.

		We explore the effects of social distance in experiments conducted over the Internet on three continents, in classroom laboratory sessions conducted in Israel and Spain, and in computer sessions pairing participants from different states-one in Texas and the other in California.
		We find that many people show regard for others, even with the apparent social distance inherent with Internet interaction.

		While maintaining your social distance is counter-intuitive – as a person who loves Jews and Judaism, you’re inclination will be to cultivate closer social relationships with Jews – nothing you do is more important.
		Yes, you are cultivating your social relationship by doing so, but you are primarily encouraging your friends in the practice of their Jewish traditions and mitzvot.
		That’s because wine is thought to loosen social inhibitions and to lead to inappropriate relationships.

		The authors presented, as a case study of methodological challenges in cross-cultural research, E. Bogardus's (1925) Social Distance Scale, which requires respondents to indicate the social distance between themselves and others.
		The meaningfulness of the scale depends on the assumption that respondents believe that the magnitude of social distance increases as one moves through the social categories of family member, friend, neighbor, coworker, and citizen.
