A study published in Psychological Reports examined the personality differences between huggers and non-huggers among fans at conventions in Poland. Researchers categorized participants into 'huggers' and 'non-huggers' based on their involvement in the Free Hugs campaign. They found that huggers exhibited lower levels of narcissism, higher levels of agreeableness, and a greater belief in humanity, suggesting that personality traits play a significant role in the tendency to engage in hugging behaviors, beyond cultural influences.
Huggers were found to be less narcissistic, more agreeable, and possessed greater faith in humanity when compared to non-huggers.
This study sheds light on how personality influences hugging behaviors, emphasizing the distinct differences between huggers and non-huggers.
