Sociofugal-sociopetal Axis: The word sociofugal means discouragement of interaction, sociopetal implies encouragement. Axis is the angle of the shoulder relative to the other person. For example, if the speaker is face to face then this is sociopetal. This would encourage interaction where as sociofugal would discourage it, i.e. being back to back (Littlejohn, 80-81).
