In {sup 84}Kr interactions with nuclear emulsion at 1.52{ital A} GeV, nuclei with charge {ital Z} up to 36 have been measured as a function of the associated proton multiplicity. The data reveal the presence of a strong correlation between different types of collisions and proton multiplicities. In the study of multifragment decays, the average number of intermediate-mass fragments (3{le}{ital Z}{le}15) increases with the proton multiplicity, reaches a maximum {l angle}{ital N}{sub IMF}{r angle}=2.03 for the most violent collisions, and then decreases.
