Review: Three Pump Handshake and Eighteen Inches Conversational Distance

The guest the persona of Vanessa Van Edwards quantifies it.

Puts it into words.

Americans pump hands 3 times in a handshake.

When meeting someone for the first time.

Pump hands 1 time in a handshake when re-greeting someone we already know.

And persona Van Edwards further says in this episode.

We Americans like to stand at 18 inches apart for a good conversation.

Any closer is too close for personal space.

Much further is less warm. ...

... Much further is less warm.

Thanks to the host the persona Peterson and the guest the persona Van Edwards, for speaking these conventions aloud.

Because we usually learn these as kids and adults by unspoken means.

But so it's refreshing to hear someone analyzed it and put it into words.

They talk about more body language on this podcast episode too.
