| Abstract: | College students attributed meaning on a questionnaire to 31 types of nonreciprocal touch occurring in opposite-sex romantic relationships. Subject sex and origin of touch (self vs. partner) had minor effects on attributed meanings. Subjects most often perceived these touches as expressing warmth/love, and rarely as expressing dominance/control.The authors are grateful to Richard Heslin and Jeffrey Fisher for their assistance in designing the study, and to C. Van Nelson for assistance in data analysis. |
