Physical Contact in Helping Interactions with Young Children.

Cowen, Emory L.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v50 n2 p219-25 Apr 1982

Studied frequency of occurrence of four different types of physical contact (touching, holding hands, sitting-on-lap, and hugging) in school-based helping interactions between nonprofessional child aides and young referred children. Frequency of contact behaviors did not relate either to adjustment status at referral or to intervention outcomes. (Author)
