Research: Women 'Soothed' By A Man's Touch
An amazing new research study has just been completed that PROVES that touch is not only powerful, a man's touch has a direct affect on a woman's subconscious mind and can calm and sooth her.
This is a basic concept that is taught in every Art of Attraction workshop, but now it's actually backed by scientific evidence. The study, will appear in the journal Psychological Science this year
Below are some important comments from the article that relate to using kino in pick-up:
- Married women under extreme stress who reach out and hold their husbands' hands feel immediate relief, neuroscientists have found in what they say is the first study of how human touch affects the neural response to threatening situations.
- The soothing effect of the touch could be seen in scans of areas deep in the brain that are involved in registering emotional and physical alarm.
- But the moment that they felt their husbands' hands — each woman's activity level plunged in all the regions gearing up for the threat. A stranger's hand also provided some comfort, though less so.
- "The effect of this simple gesture of social support is that the brain and body don't have to work as hard, they're less stressed in response to a threat," said Dr. James A. Coan, a psychologist at the University of Virginia and the study's lead author. His co-authors were Dr. Hillary Schaefer and Dr. Richard J. Davidson of the University of Wisconsin.
- But this system often becomes overactive in situations that are nagging but not life threatening like worries over relationships, deadlines, money or homework. Easy access to an affectionate touch in these moments — or to a hug, a back rub or more — "is a very good thing, is deeply soothing," Dr. Coan said.
