=== High contact ===
In a high contact culture, many things are not verbally stated but are expressed through physical touch. For instance, [[Cheek kissing]] is a very common method of greeting in [[Latin America]], but among Northern Europeans it is an uncommon form of greeting. Different cultures have different [[display rules]], the degree with which emotions are expressed. Cultural  display rules also affect the degree to which individuals share their personal space, gaze and physical contact during interactions.  In a  High contact culture, such as South America, Latin America, Southern Europe, Africa, Russia, the Middle East and others, people tend to share more physical contact. High contact  cultures communicate through long gazes, long hugs, and share a decrease in [[proxemics]].<ref name="McCornack2017">{{Cite book |title=Choices and Connections, An Introduction to Communication |last=McCornack |first=Steven |publisher=Bedford |year=2017 |isbn=978-1-319-04352-0 |pages=141–150}}</ref>
