eye contact!!!!!!!
Written on 9:12 PM by christopher
It has been said that eyes are the windows to the soul. In nonverbal behavior, the eyes play a significant role in communication. They usually convey internal feelings and accentuate other body movements. Out of all the other facial structures, the eyes have the ability to do the most. For example, one can glance, stare, peek, blink, peer, gaze, roll, wink, raise and lower (eyebrows). Most importantly, eyes have the ability to convey ones true characteristics, attitudes, and feelings about people than verbal behavior. Ironically, while gazing may show strong emotions, it rarely lasts over three seconds before the person feels uncomfortable and breaks away.
Presently, there are many people who use facial expression and especially eye movements to infer information about a persons thinking, honesty, and reaction. The interrogation method of the police, for example, depends heavily on where a persons eyes shift during a question. See The Negotiator clip. Even an FBI agent, Joe Navarro, states, 'What gives police officers away in a roomful of people is their habit of look too intently ad too carefully at others.' Another way of telling someones disposition is by how they blink their eyes. The normal person blinks 20 times per minute, each lasting a fourth of second. Someone under stress or nervous, on the other hand, will blink significantly higher.
in conclusion, one's eye contact tells a lot.. be wise..
