Your final paper should be at least three (3) full pages, deductions will occur for those who fail to meet this requirement.

This paper is due Tuesday, September 18^th, 2018 as a hard-copy at the start of class.

Goal:

The goal of this assignment is to understand how touch influences your interactions with other people in everyday interactions.

Directions for Part 1:

To begin, you should answer the four questions below in approximately 1-2 pages. You should answer eachquestion and think about the reasons you answered the way you did. This section is worth 15 points.

Questions below about your own touching behavior:

1. Am I toucher? Why or why not.
2. Do people touch me more than I touch them?
3. What types of relationships do I have with the people I touch? (e.g., romantic partner, friend, etc.)
4. Whatdo I try to communicate when touching for these types of people?

Directions for Part 2:

Using the answers you’ve just provided, pickoneof the following scenarios. For the biggest impact, you should pick a scenario that is opposite of your normal touching patterns.Once you pick the scenario, you need to apply this scenario to your everyday life and interaction partners. Meaning you will need to “act out” this scenario with some relational partner – a romantic partner, a friend, a parent, etc. DO NOT tell the other person in the interaction that you are altering your touching behaviors until after the scenario is over; rather, you should alter your behaviors according to the scenario and observe what happens. Once your interaction is over, debrief your interaction partner on what happened and answer the following questions about your experience. This response should be around ~2 pages in length. This section is worth 25 points.

Scenarios OPTIONS:

Option 1. When interacting with a conversation partner, do not touch them at all. You should avoid touch at all costs even if they attempt to touch you.

Option 2. When interacting with a conversation partner, you should touch them a lot. Your touch should be continuous and constant.

Now answer the following questions:

1. Who did you interact with?
2. What type of conversation were you having with this person when you began acting out the scenario?
3. What was their reaction to your touching behaviors?
4. How did the conversation flow?
5. What are your reactions and feelings to using the touching behavior in the scenario?
