Earlier research on self-touching focused on internal processes associated with self-touching, e.g., mental conflict, while more recent research has considered external motivators, such as an auditory or visual presentation of a provocative stimulus, e.g., leeches. Here, 110 undergraduate psychology students (68 women, 42 men; M age = 18.7 yr., SD = 1.0) were shown a video about chiggers to replicate previous findings, while simultaneously studying the social influence of self-touching modeled by the presenter. A significant interaction was found as modeled self-touching significantly increased participants' self-touching when they were also attending to the video about chiggers. The results are discussed in terms of potential processes underlying this behavior and directions for research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2466\/pms.101.2.413-420","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,20]],"date-time":"2010-09-20T06:38:50Z","timestamp":1284964730000},"page":"413-420","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Effects of Modeling and Topic Stimulus on Self-Referent Touching"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"101","author":[{"given":"Nathan David","family":"Butzen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Berry College"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Victor","family":"Bissonnette","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Berry College"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"McBrayer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Berry College"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-pms.101.2.413-420","first-page":"95","volume-title":"Social influence: direct and indirect processes","author":"Dijksterhuis A.","year":"2001"},{"key":"bibr2-pms.101.2.413-420","first-page":"89","volume":"9","author":"Feyereisen P.","year":"1974","journal-title":"Revue de Psychologie et des Sciences de l'Education"},{"key":"bibr3-pms.101.2.413-420","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2466\/pms.2000.90.1.338"},{"key":"bibr4-pms.101.2.413-420","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2466\/pms.2002.95.1.289"},{"key":"bibr5-pms.101.2.413-420","volume-title":"Design and analysis: a researcher's handbook","author":"Keppel G.","year":"1991","edition":"3"},{"issue":"126","key":"bibr6-pms.101.2.413-420","volume":"46","author":"Krout M.","year":"1935","journal-title":"Psychological Monographs"},{"key":"bibr7-pms.101.2.413-420","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/h0058373"},{"key":"bibr8-pms.101.2.413-420","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00221309.1954.9920210"},{"key":"bibr9-pms.101.2.413-420","first-page":"37","volume-title":"The communication of ideas","author":"Lasswell H.","year":"1948"},{"key":"bibr10-pms.101.2.413-420","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.40.4.712"},{"key":"bibr11-pms.101.2.413-420","first-page":"69","volume":"3","author":"McBrayer D.","year":"1986","journal-title":"Journal of Human Behavior and Learning"},{"key":"bibr12-pms.101.2.413-420","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2466\/pms.1992.74.1.239"},{"key":"bibr13-pms.101.2.413-420","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2466\/pms.1982.54.3.1003"},{"key":"bibr14-pms.101.2.413-420","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/h0046234"},{"key":"bibr15-pms.101.2.413-420","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2466\/pms.1983.56.2.547"}],"container-title":["Perceptual and Motor Skills"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.2466\/pms.101.2.413-420","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.2466\/pms.101.2.413-420","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T03:01:58Z","timestamp":1777604518000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.2466\/pms.101.2.413-420"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005,10]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2005,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.2466\/pms.101.2.413-420"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2466\/pms.101.2.413-420","relation":{},"ISSN":["0031-5125","1558-688X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0031-5125","type":"print"},{"value":"1558-688X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005,10]]}}}
