The statement "A person's choice of space communication is influenced by status, culture, gender, age, personality, and topic," applies to PROXEMICS.
Proxemics is the study of human use of space and the effects that population density has on behaviour, communication, and social interaction.
The term was coined by Edward T. Hall in 1963 and defined it as "the interrelated observations and theories of humans use of space as a specialized elaboration of culture".
