自我触摸可以调节兴奋过度和兴奋不足。目前还不清楚不同形式的自我触摸是否发生在不同的环境中，以及调节机制是后天习得的还是先天的。作者描述了自我触摸的形式和背景，并探讨了压力处理的年龄差异。他们分析了10名青春期前和10名青春期后女孩在低压力和高压力环境下的手部动作，发现了3种自我触摸形式。在青春期后的参与者中，自我触摸2（不规则结构，有节奏，中等强度）和3（相位结构，单口音，中等强度）用于自我调节，而自我触摸1（不规则结构，单口音，低强度）有会话原因。越来越多的不动可能代表了压力参与者试图专注于任务的向内焦点。青春期前的参与者没有发现差异。青春期前和青春期后参与者之间的差异可能是由于青春期的大脑发育。
Self-touch serves for regulation of both hyper- and hypoarousal. It remains unclear if different forms of self-touch occur in different contexts, and if the regulatory mechanisms are learned or innate. The authors describe forms and context of self-touch, and explore age differences in stress processing. They analyzed hand movements of 10 pre- and 10 postadolescent girls in low-stress and high-stress settings and found 3 forms of self-touch. In postadolescent participants, self-touch 2 (irregular structure, rhythmical, medium intensity) and 3 (phasic structure, single accent, medium intensity) were used for self-regulation, whereas self-touch 1 (irregular structure, single accent, low intensity) had conversational reasons. Increasing immobility might represent the inward focus of stressed participants that tried to focus on the task. No differences were found for preadolescent participants. Differences between pre- and postadolescent participants might be due to brain development during adolescence.
