5. This particular study had 112 participants of which 48 were men and 64 were women. Four raters were hired, the ones who would be able to gauge the handshake according the given hypothesis of the study.
They were to rate the data on a scale of five pointer.
6. The results of the study were that handshakes are consistent across the age of the individuals and the gender of the individual. That is, the firmer handshakes were attributed more to that of the male category than to the female category. And, firmer handshakes were correlated more to the personality characteristic of extraversion and vice versa.
7. The Hypothesis of the research was supported and it was tied and corroborated with past body language and personality studies.
8. Authors suggested that it would be much better is the scope of the study was expanded as the research was conducted on participants in a more formal setting which changes the code of conducts of subjects with respect to handshakes.
