What's in a Handshake? Examining Gender Roles in Corporate America

Have you ever judged someone bases on a simple handshake? If their handshake was strong, it probably gave you the impression that this individual was a confident person. If they had a weak handshake, however, it probably gave you the impression that the person was either weak or very passive. According to Wikipedia.com: "The handshake is initiated when the two hands touch, immediately. It is commonly done upon meeting, greeting, parting, offering congratulations, or completing an agreement. Its purpose is to convey trust, balance, and equality."
