Gender Differences in Intentional Physical Contact During Co
Abstract
The differences in gender and initiating intentional physical contact during communication were investigated. Fifty college-age dyads who engaged in conversation were observed between 30 and 60 seconds to see which gender instigated physical contact with a person of the same or opposite gender. It was hypothesized that females would initiate touch more often with males than any of the other 4 gender situations. Results showed that males initiated physical contact with males more often than either gender …showed first 75 words of 1249 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1249 total…was placed along with the time of contact (greeting, mid-conversation, closure). For each absence of contact an “N” was placed in the appropriate space.
Results
Though time slots for each conversation ended at 60 seconds, no observations exceeded this time frame, therefore all observations were found to be significant. Significance from the chi square is as follows: Dyad Chi Square: F(3, N=50) = 13.200, p = .004. Touch Chi Square: F(1, N=50) = 9.680, p = .002. Time Chi Square: F(3, N=50) = 26.320, p = .00 (p
