How do you greet people in your country? In the UK, a handshake has been the traditional way to say hello. But this seems to be changing.
A new survey shows that the handshake is now less popular. According to results, many British people now consider handshaking "formal, outdated" or "unhygienic" (不卫生). In the past, the British looked down on hugging or kissing as a form of greeting, but not any longer. In fact, almost 50 percent are using other ways to greet, with 16 percent preferring a European kiss on the cheek, and nearly one third choosing a hug.
The study of 1,003 people also found that one in five now feel that shaking hands is too formal, while 42 percent said they would only do it in a business meeting. Forty-two percent also said they would never shake hands when greeting friends, and one in twelve said they preferred not to shake hands in case germs are passed on. However, 87 percent still believe a handshake is more suitable in business.
Psychologist Dr. Jane McCartney said, "I think the handshake depends on age. The older you are, the more likely you will prefer the handshake. It's quite a formal introduction. So, it's quite nice that today's generation feel much less reserved."
So, what's your favorite form of greeting?
