Figure 1. — Example of the visual analogue scale ranging from 0 ‘not at all’ to 100 ‘a lot’ for the three items corresponding to different types of ‘social’ touch. The cursor was initially placed at 0, and participants had to move the cursor in order for the question to be validated. In this illustrative example, participants are asked about the amount of touch experienced in the past week (i.e. during COVID-19). However, participants were also asked about their tactile experience in relation to the amount of touch experienced before COVID-19 as well as their wanting to have experienced these types of touch in the past week.
