Touch and touch avoidance are important facets of interpersonal relations. Touch avoidance has been related to sex, but the relationship between touch and sex roles has not been widely substantiated. 259 undergraduate students participated in a procedure designed to test the relationship between sex, sex roles, and same-sex and opposite-sex touch avoidance. Significant differences were reported between men and women on same-sex touch avoidance but not on opposite-sex touch avoidance. Participants high on androgyny reported less same-sex and opposite-sex touch avoidance than did subjects low on androgyny. No interactive effect between sex and androgyny was found for either same-sex or opposite-sex touch avoidance. Regression procedures indicated predictive models for sex and androgyny in relation to same-sex and opposite-sex touch avoidance. Specific conclusions regarding the relationships among sex, androgyny, and touch avoidance were stated.
触摸与避免触摸是人际关系的重要方面。避免触摸与性别有关，但触摸与性别角色之间的关系尚未得到广泛证实。259名本科生参与了一项旨在测试性别、性别角色以及同性和异性避免触摸之间关系的程序。报告显示，在同性避免触摸方面男性和女性存在显著差异，但在异性避免触摸方面没有差异。双性化程度高的参与者比双性化程度低的参与者报告的同性和异性避免触摸情况更少。在同性或异性避免触摸方面，未发现性别与双性化之间的交互作用。回归程序表明了性别和双性化与同性和异性避免触摸相关的预测模型。阐述了关于性别、双性化和避免触摸之间关系的具体结论。
