Physical Contact Avoidance

Physical Contact Avoidance is a behavioral construct in social psychology that denotes the deliberate restriction of bodily proximity and tactile interaction with others, primarily to mitigate perceived risks to physical safety or social discomfort, distinguishing it from related constructs by its focus on observable, sensorimotor distancing as an indicator of social boundary regulation.
