Furthermore, Henley asserts that while a man' touch to a woman is not necessarily interpreted as conveying sexual intent, a woman's touch to a man is. Touch as a Cue to Warmth and Intimacy Early research on the meaning of touch reflected the traditional assumption that touch was a positive experience. Nguyen, Heslin, and Nguyen (1975, 1976) conducted the first studies of the meaning ascribed to cross-sex touch. Nguyen et al. (1975) presented 81 unmarried college students with a body chart modeled after lourard's (1966) and asked them to indicate what it meant when a close friend of the opposite-sex patted, squeezed, brushed (possibly by accident), and stroked 11 areas of their body.
In summary, research on the meaning of touch provides strong support for Henley's (1973, 1977) theory that touching implies power. Across experiments the initiator of touch is seen as more powerful, dominant, and of higher status than the recipient. Furthermore, it appears that touch affects the balance of power in a relationship by simultaneously enhancing that of the toucher and diminishing that of the recipient. The effect is the same whether it occurs in cross-sex or samesex dyads. Observational and self-report studies indicate that touch is associated with power; experiments investigating observers' evaluations of touch indicate that touch is interpreted as conveying power to its initiator and lack of power to its recipient, and Alber's (1974) experiment demonstrates that touch is used as a method of conveying dominance over a subordinate by persons randomly cast into those roles.
