Space Proximities(Proxemics) Touch(Haptic Communication) Functional/professional: This is touch between colleagues and professionals. For example, a handshake or a slap on the back. It is sometimes used to show authority and dominance. Touch(Haptic Communication) Social/polite: This is used with acquaintances, or with people in a group who are friends, but not necessarily close friends. It includes a light touch on the arm to get attention, or hugging team members when you win a match. It is generally positive, friendly and affirming. Touch(Haptic Communication) Friendship/warmth: Touch here includes many of the lighthearted gestures that show you like, and understand, each other. For example, “high 5-ing” a friend when you see each other, or giving them hug when they share bad news. Touch(Haptic Communication) Love/intimacy: This type of touch is associated with emotional closeness, trust and vulnerability. For example, we see this in the way a child clings to his or her mother when they are feeling sad or afraid. Also, holding hands, or embracing each other, as a dating couple. Thank You!
