Touch, status, and gender at professional meetings.
Observers unobtrusively recorded instances of interpersonal touch at three large academic meetings (two of psychologists, one of philosophers).

Higher-status individuals initiated touch that was judged more often to be affectionate and that was more often directed to the arm or shoulder, whereas lower-status individuals initiated more formal touches and handshakes. Gender asymmetry in touch was very weak overall, but favored male-to-female over female-to-male touch when the two individuals had equal professional status.
