Handshaking

Joel Moorhead · JAMA · 1982

It used to be simpler to greet a patient—a smile, a handshake, and a few words of introduction made everyone comfortable. Now I find myself analyzing all available demographic data on my patients in an attempt to anticipate how they will shake my hand. Although I am young in years and in attitudes, my handshake is very traditional. I extend my hand, fingers forward, hoping to grasp most of my patient's hand in a brief but gently firm grip. Lately, as often as not, I find my patient's thumb in my hand. Apparently, several forms of the nontraditional handshake exist. I infer this from my seeming inability to establish any kind of linkage with some patients. Our hands collide like rocks, then tumble over one another until some appendage of one is captured by the other. Sometimes my patient aborts the handshake even before contact is made. On these occasions

Categories for handshaking communications

LABELLA, Anna, A. PETTOROSSI · IRIS Research product catalog (Sapienza University of Rome) · 1986

Various languages and algebraic structures have been recently proposed for denoting parallel computations and communications among processes. We restrict our attention to calculus for communicating systems and we provide a categorical framework for understanding their basic constructs and operations. In particular we show that the parallel composition and the different kinds of interactions among computing processes can be interpreted as categorical constructions in suitable categories.

Human history: Handshaking symbolism

Penelope J. Corfield · Open Access Government · 2025

Human history: Handshaking symbolism Penelope J. Corfield from Royal Holloway, University of London, explores the symbolism of handshaking throughout human history. How do you reassure another person? Studies repeatedly show that holding their hand, firmly but unobtrusively, is an excellent way of doing the trick. It presumably reminds people subliminally of parental hand-holding and the trust that little children have (unless horribly disabused) in those who are caring for them. Touching hands, in the ritualised form of greeting known as the handshake, is another adult form of reassurance. The gesture signals that two people are saluting one another, not as equals in everything – but as social equals at the time of greeting. The touching of their palms together, together with the light grip of their fingers, provides a mutual bodily pledge.

Human-Robot Handshaking: A Review

Vignesh Prasad, Ruth Stock‐Homburg, Jan Peters · International Journal of Social Robotics · 2021

Abstract For some years now, the use of social, anthropomorphic robots in various situations has been on the rise. These are robots developed to interact with humans and are equipped with corresponding extremities. They already support human users in various industries, such as retail, gastronomy, hotels, education and healthcare. During such Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) scenarios, physical touch plays a central role in the various applications of social robots as interactive non-verbal behaviour is a key factor in making the interaction more natural. Shaking hands is a simple, natural interaction used commonly in many social contexts and is seen as a symbol of greeting, farewell and congratulations. In this paper, we take a look at the existing state of Human-Robot Handshaking research, categorise the works based on their focus areas, draw out the major findings of these areas while analysing their pitfalls. We mainly see that some form of synchronisation exists during the different phases of the interaction. In addition to this, we also find that additional factors like gaze, voice facial expressions etc. can affect the perception of a robotic handshake and that internal factors like personality and mood can affect the way in which handshaking behaviours are executed by humans. Based on the findings and insights, we finally discuss possible ways forward for research on such physically interactive behaviours.

Human history: Handshaking horrors explained

Penelope J. Corfield · Open Access Government · 2025

Human history: Handshaking horrors explained Penelope J. Corfield, from Royal Holloway, University of London, offers an intriguing examination of the perils of shaking hands in human history. Shaking hands sends a message of optimism. Strangers can meet and greet on a footing of trust and friendliness. The gesture links two people who need not be equals in worldly status or wealth. But they act as social equals at the moment of mutual salutation. They are using a known social signal within a shared community. How, then, can things go wrong? The answer is that humans, being humans, can always vary and, at times, abuse the salutation. Horrors do happen. Such possibilities do not, of course, mean that people should not be ready to deal fairly with their fellow humans. Nonetheless, the fact that greetings can send varied messages does mean that people should remain vigilant. Not every smiling stranger is automatically a friend. Some may be actually indifferent. Others, at times, are outright deceivers.
