Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moving one's chair to the side indicates a desire to move from a closer social distance to a slightly further personal distance. Intimate distance would be much closer, while public distance would be much further away. Interpersonal distance is a broad term that could encompass any distance in which social interactions occur, so it is not the best choice for this specific scenario.
