We experimentally studied the influence of sex and gender, that is, the participant’s sex, gender of the participant’s avatar, and gender of the opponent’s avatar, on personal space in virtual reality. In more than half of the cases, significant differences were observed in the influence of the gender of the opponent’s avatar. In addition, females were more influenced by the gender of the opponent’s avatar than males, and males were less likely to be influenced by the gender of the opponent’s avatar when using a female avatar.
