1Have you ever wondered how acceptable it is to hug or touch someone?While it may sound safe to avoid all physical
2contact so as not to offend anyone ,the lack of touching might imply cold attitudes or indifference in interpersonal
3relationships.
4So,what should we do?The simple answer is to thoroughly learn unique cultural norms for physical contact. In nonverbal
5communication terminology(术语),physical contact and the study of touching are generally referred to as haptics.
6Haptics in communication often suggest the level of intimacy. They are usually classified into two groups:high-contact
7and low-contact.
8Asia and quite surprisingly the United States ,Canada and Britain belong to low-contact cultures. People from the rest
9of the world ,such as Latin America ,are considered to be in high- contact cultures where they tend to expect touching
10in social interactions and feel more comfortable with physical closeness. Despite the classification,there are more
11complex factors such as relational closeness ,gender ,age ,and context that can affect how someone views physical
12contact.
13One common French custom of greetings is cheek-kissing,but it is mostly restricted to friends, close acquaintances and
14family members. While cheek-kissing for Latin Americans is also a universal greeting form ,it does not require such a
15high degree of relational closeness. However, gender matters more for them because check-kissing often only happens
16between women or a man and a woman but not two men.
17In contrast ,in certain Arabian ,African ,and Asian countries ,men can publicly hold hands or show physical affection as
18signs of brotherhood or friendship while these behaviors may suggest a romantic relationship in other parts of the
19world. Although men's touching is more normal in these cultures ,physical contact between persons of opposite sexes who
20are not family members is negatively perceived in Arabian countries.
21These factors could definitely affect the degree to which someone is comfortable with tactile (触觉的)communication and
22physical intimacy.Therefore,if you are someone who loves to show physical affection ,you should not be afraid to show it
23or drastically change your behaviors-just ask for consent beforehand!
