Things They Should Study: who establishes the greeting protocol?

I have some family members with whom I hug and/or kiss as a greeting. This wasn't my idea, I was never consulted, and I don't hug or kiss other family members with whom I have the same degree of relationship (some of whom have the same degree of relationship as me to the huggers/kissers).

Someone should do some research into how these things develop.

It seems like the person with the more aggressive/affectionate greeting preferences usually establish the protocol.

Maybe I should aggressively establish something else, daps or something.
