What it measures

Eight items measure the degree to which a person desires more physical closeness and multisensory contact — including touch, smell, sight, hearing, and kissing — with a specific individual. Huang, Dong, and Zhang (2019) used the scale in Study 3 with 170 MTurk participants who had described a person they had a crush on. The scale appears to have been created by the authors.
