Weegy: The answer is haptics. ; Haptics refers to the sense of touch (from Greek ???? = "I fasten onto, I touch"). It is a form of nonverbal communication. Haptic customs differ greatly throughout the world. [ In many Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America, people greet each other with one kiss on the cheek, for example in Argentina. In Spain, people greet each other with two kisses on the cheek. In Colombia shaking hands or verbal greeting is common and probably without hugging. In Peru when men greet one another they usually do so shaking hands or with a verbal greeting, otherwise, whenever a woman is involved, greeting involves kissing on the cheek or verbal greeting. In the United States, the main form of greeting is shaking hands, though when greeting friends it is not uncommon for them to hug. In Japan, people bow to each other in greeting and think it rude to touch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptics ]
