Observations of children’s spacing behaviour were made during nursery school introduction and after integration into the group. Children showed rapid adjustment of interpersonal proximity within a few days at the same time as the group’s initial high interest in them waned. Newcomers had settled into stable, normal spacing patterns by the time of the follow-up observations after 30 + days of nursery experience. Several factors such as presence of older sibling, weekday of introduction, and sex of newcomer were examined, and parallels with similar nonhuman primate studies were considered
