The different psychological distances would have automatic associations, and they would also affect and be affected by each other. Several re- searches have shown that psychological distance would be extended to many other related research areas that go beyond the four dimensions, such as social power, ownership vs transactions, proximal vs distal senses, novelty, affect, and so on. Future researches should extend the research field of psychological distance. It is also important to include the research of psychophysics. For example, how do objective distances map onto generalized psychological distance? How do different distances combine to affect psychological distance? And so forth.
