something has come to my mind.. i was wondering the nature behind.. 'Headpat'.

from what Mcqueen told me, she doesn't mind a headpat but from what i know, a headpat degrades someone into the same level as 'children'. Lets dig into this deeper..

1. Introduction:
"Headpats are a physical gesture of affection, comfort, or approval, involving gently patting or rubbing someone's head. Primarily used to show care, reassurance, pride, or to comfort someone, they are also commonly depicted in anime/manga to show affection or a "cute" dynamic. Common synonyms include hair pets, head rubs, or simply patting on the head." which is said by the online search engine.. it is very simple yet very informative way if describing it.

2. The Target:
so, who does this Headpat targets to? to me, it is someone you consider lower level than you which is not as degrading as it sounds as it could simply means someone who is younger that is in your care. 

3. Reason:
so, why are we doing this 'Headpat' towards the target person? to some, it may be view as a reward of some sorts, telling the target such as "Good Job" and "You Did Well". 

4. Expected Response:
to those who are giving the headpat, their intention or what they expect to whom receiving the headpat to be feeling satiesfied in pleasure and does not contain any ill intention whatsover.

5. The Action:
so why does the headpat makes the receiving one melt in pleassure and comfort? a simple gesture or action of someone's palm caressing on the other's top head, it makes a friction of reassurance to them. 

6. Implications:
so what could be the impact after the action of headpat? first, they could be happy about it, and another, they could be upset by it because it being considered as 'treating them like a kid'.

7. Respects:
there is just some person that you just not giving headpats to because it is considered as Disrespectful. first, someone who is the same level as you ie. a teacher towards their co-workers. Second, someone who is older than you, this is a bigger level of disrespectful than the prior point

8. Experiments:
I decided to start records results of headpats towards.. my trainees to observe is any of the reaction is record is correct. disclaimer, i did not doing this because of disrespect but because i would also want to "giving them rewards" for their great race progress
