For the presentation, I looked into further research to support our project idea and came across an interesting statistics:
There was a study performed by a psychologist who observed how often friends touched each other in different countries at a café setting.
In Paris, the average was 110 times an hour. In Puerto Rico, the highest average was 180 times
per hour! In Florida, twice per hour.
This statistics show the important of friendly touches in our everyday lives, but there is lack of friendly touches in North America. Through our research, we also found that friendly touches creates a positive effect by releasing a type of affection harmone called oxytocin, which promote trust and bonding with other people.
