Summary/Abstract: The research magnitude concerning tactile, is so large, as we could assert, that are no behaviors, which are not inluenced by a simple touch contact (especially behaviors which involves a social relationship). The studies which mentioned the influence of touch were made mainly in Anglo-Saxon countries, especially in the United States of America, which is considered a culture of touch avoidance. Recently, some similar research were carried out in France (a culture of touch), and the results do not differ from those assessed in Anglo-Saxon countries. Also, our studies acknowledge that the eficiency of tactile could be extended in other Eastern European countries, as Romania and the Republic of Moldova. Despite of cultural differences, the physical touch signiicantly increase the subject coeficient of obedience.
