Question

Valerie grew up in a family which discouraged touching. Her parents continually told her that touching herself or others was "bad" and "naughty." Given this history, which of the following personality characteristics would you expect Valerie (a "nontoucher") not to have, in relation to a "toucher"?
a. more anxiety and tension
b. more suspicion of others
c. more rigid belief structure
d. more satisfaction with her body

Answer 1

Answer:

A) More anxiety and tension

Explanation:

Living in a household that told her touching others was wrong, that person is more likely to have a negative reaction/relationship with a "toucher." As a result, the "nontoucher" will feel they're doing something wrong when interacting with a "toucher."
