Hugging is a particularly intimate and intense way of expressing emotions. It is also natural for every human being
to need hugs from time to time. But research shows that our hugs vary as a result of several different factors.
These include the emotions experienced at the time or who and why we are hugging. A team of psychologists have
conducted a study in order to examine one particular aspect of hugging. They wanted to check why some hugs are
made from the left hand side and some from the right hand side.

First, the scientists observed the embraces that take place at international airports. Why there? Because they
assumed that they would see individuals experiencing contrasting emotions in the same location. At the departures
gate, many travellers exhibited negative emotions when saying goodbye to their families and worrying about
the flight. At the arrivals gate, their emotions were usually the opposite when they saw their loved ones again.
3______
The researchers came to the conclusion that people prefer right hand sided hugs when sharing positive emotions and
choose left hand sided hugs when experiencing negative ones. But what if they choose the right hand side because
they are right handed and this side is more comfortable for them?
4______
In order to answer this question, scientists asked a large group of test participants to embrace a mannequin.
However, first they had to listen to a funny, sad or neutral story. It was essential to check beforehand if people
were right or left-handed. The conclusion was that it is a combination of both our feelings and our handedness that
determines how we hug others.
5______
Hugs build trust and help conquer feelings of loneliness, isolation and anger. There are also some health benefits.
It is said that as a result of hugging someone for a few seconds, hormones are released that may temporarily reduce
blood pressure. So, no matter if you do it from the right hand side or the left hand side, it’s important to hug your friends and
family from time to time!
