  Q1. Why do Asians have larger personal space than American on average?     
Asians who identify themselves having no personal space due to the density of population may want to compensate the bigger personal space in America by having even larger personal space than Americans.


 
   Q2. why do females in general have closer distances than males?
Psychological aspect: females tend to adjust in new environments easier than males. Therefore, when females come to the setup environment for experiment, they may feel more comfortable in adjusting.


 
  why do Asian males have the largest distance?
When Asian males study abroad, they come with a certain mission: they have to accomplish something significant to allow them live better when they return home. They think they have to be capable of supporting a family that they will or already have. On the other hand, Asian females come to study abroad for self-achievement rather than to be able to support a family in future.

Therefore, Asian males tend to build up their own territory first and then start getting close to the people around in adjusting themselves into new environment. This opinion is give by one Asian male studying in the psychology department.
