Children's Responses to Touch‐a questionnaire study

Abstract

Abstract Children's responses to six types of touch were assessed at five ages between nine and 17 by questionnaire. The questionnaire was oriented to the types of touch and toucher occurring in classrooms and other public places, with a view to assessing their implications for education. The type of touch, the part of the body touched, and the familiarity and sex of the toucher all had strongly significant effects on children's responses, as did the child's own age and sex. The status of the other person (adult/peer, teacher/non‐teacher) had weaker effects. The implications of the results are discussed.
