Abstract
Traditionally, handshake has been a powerful non-verbal greeting behavior in Western societies, but the COVID-19 pandemic has dissuaded this practice. Our research shows that the pandemic diminished but not eliminated the positive effect of handshakes on impression formation and subsequent social decision-making.
