In two studies, participants in a classroom corridor who walked near the wall (“gravitators”) were contrasted with those who walked near the center (“nongravitators”).

Gravitation is an innate behavior among some animals; among human beings there are marked individual differences. Some social encounters may involve gravitation toward the other person as an object.
