the network model predicting the posture characteristic in Japanese culture during a first time
meeting
As shown in Fig.7, keeping Japan is as an evidence for culture and selecting Higher
Status as evidence for Social Relationship, the results for spatial extent are smaller
(68%), rigidness more extreme (69%), mirroring the least (87%), frequency lower
(56%), and duration longer (55%). In a similar way as in the German example shown in
Fig. 4 and 5, the posture for the Japanese subject in Fig. 6 changes to a smaller and more
rigid one in Fig. 7 when interacting with someone with a higher status.
