We systematically manipulated social proximity to examine its influence on multiple topographies of aggression. Aggression occurred at high levels during close‐proximity sessions and at low levels during distant‐proximity sessions even though social contact was presented continuously during both conditions. Topographies of aggression emerged sequentially across the close‐proximity sessions, and all topographies were reduced to zero following extended sessions of this condition.
