While watching the olympics yesterday my wife and I noticed that while the women teams celebrate victory with repeated hugging and lots of smiles and eye contact, male teams hug once, little eye contact and then perhaps a few high fives.
I can see a Master's thesis on this. Something like "Celebratory Behavior Among Olympic Athletes". Our observations are, of course, unscientific, so it would be interesting to see what a more rigorous study would find as well as what might be found across cultures. With my luck, it's probably been done already. Dr. Palij? Michael A.
