Out and about again today.
I found this interesting article that looked into the psychology of hand washing / hand hygiene:
Developing professional habits of hand hygiene in intensive care settings: An action-research intervention
By: Giuseppe Battistella, Giuliano Berto, Stefania Bazzo
The researchers found that hand washing is definitely a habit, which is related to (automatically follows from) the perception that hands are “dirty.” It appears to be a social activity.
