Anthropologist Holzer thinks that "interpersonal distance" can be divided into 4 kinds: one is intimacy distance, usually used between parents and children, between lovers or lovers, though intimacy, but also to have a sense of propriety and norm; two is personal distance, usually for friends; three is social distance, for individuals who have open relationships rather than personal relationships, such as upper and lower levels, customers and salesmen, doctors and patients, etc. four is the public distance, and there are social standards or customs for individuals who have formal contacts or strangers.

The disharmony and opposition between emotions, intentions and motives caused by differences in purpose, value and attitude between people.
