It doesn't. It is what ever the person and or customs dictate. It is up to the individual to extend the gesture or not. That is why I say that if you are Roman Catholic and do not extend some simple of "Sign of Peace" to you neighbors in the pews, maybe you need to examine why you are at Mass in the first place if you are not serious about following Christ's commandment to us to love one another...
