What Does A Turning Direction Of A Kiss Means

Most people express their love physically to their partners and their children through a kiss. A recent study shows how kissing differs when it is done by romantic partners or by a parent and child. The goal of this study is to examine if the turning direction of kissing was unswerving between parent-child and parent-parent. They also aim to evaluate if the gender takes part in a role in turning bias between parent-child kisses.

Science Daily reports that the study involved 529 images of parent-child kissing that includes mother-son kisses, mother-daughter kisses, father-son and father-daughter that were gathered from Instagram, Pinterest and Google Images. The team also analyzed the romantic parent-parent kisses by having 161 photos from Google Images.

The study reveals that romantic partners turn right for romantic kisses. This is due to the increased use of the brain's left hemisphere. The couples also move to the right due to their erudite behavior from their relationship in initial days.

They also discovered the left-turn bias between parent-child kisses. This is because parents often embrace their children using their left arm so they kiss them turning on the left direction.

Meanwhile, Daily Mail reports that an American psychologist said that parents must not kiss their children on the lips because this might confuse the child as it is sexual.

On the other hand, Dr. Fiona Martin, a psychologist from the Sydney Child Psychology Center deviates. "It's absurd really to think a parent kissing their child could be referred to as too sexual, "Martin explained. "It's normal and healthy to be affectionate to your children. It's communicating to your child that you love them." She also said that there were no psychological effects for children who have been kissed by their parents on the lips.

"It's beautiful. Anything that promotes emotional connectivity is good. It's certainly not inappropriate to kiss your child," she concluded.
