This study delves into an in-depth exploration of individual spatial preferences when interacting with virtual agents (VA) of varying styles. Our experimental outcomes unveil pronounced disparities in personal space (PS) selections within this contextual framework. Through a meticulous comparative analysis of viewing distances, our investigation discloses that when engaging with VA in an adorable style, female participants tend to maintain a more distant observational distance. Conversely, when faced with VA embodying a horror style, female participants exhibit a heightened inclination to approach these entities. In contrast, male participants do not manifest statistically significant alterations in their viewing preferences. This revelation not only offers a novel perspective for comprehending audience reactions to diverse animation styles but also imparts substantive insights for shaping studies in virtual reality (VR) experiences and emotional perception. Moreover, the proposed experimental framework enables accurate and replicable measurement of spatial behavior in immersive VR environments. These findings provide valuable guidance for designing emotionally adaptive virtual characters and improving user engagement across educational, therapeutic, and entertainment applications.
