本探索性研究的目的是表征大学生对在随意的社会交往中可以接受触摸和被其他学生触摸的地方的信念。来自住宿大学（N = 242）和当地社区学院（N = 200）的本科生完成了触摸调查。这项调查测量了人们对社交互动中触摸行为的看法。分层聚类分析通过性别和触摸方向来形成触摸区域（公共、随意和私人）。研究结果显示了明显的同性和异性触摸区模式，并且在两个校园之间存在触摸区差异。住宿大学有男性/男性公共接触区和女性/女性私人接触区。社区大学的样本中没有互惠接触区。讨论了对高校健康教育工作者的启示。
The purpose of this exploratory study was to characterize college student beliefs about where it is acceptable to touch and be touched by other students in casual social interactions. Undergraduate students at a residential university (N = 242) and at a local community college (N = 200) completed the Touch Survey. The survey measures beliefs about touching in social interactions. Hierarchical cluster analyses were used to form touch zones (Public, Discretionary, and Private) by gender and direction of touch. The results of the study showed distinct same- and opposite-gender touch zone patterns, and there were touch zone differences between the two campuses. There were reciprocal touch zones for residential university male/male public touch zones and female/female private touch zones. There were no reciprocal touch zones for the community college sample. Implications for college health educators are discussed.
