Eye Contact Evaluation

I decided to go to Panda Express at 5:30 pm for my observations, while there I was able to observe just how much people rely on nonverbal communications to get their point across. Although I witnessed several encounters of unique body language, there were also a few actions that reoccurred several times in several different people. For example, when a customer would approach the counter where employee served the food, the employee would raise her eyebrows and smile at the customer. The employee’s smile, however, did not reach her eyes suggesting that while it is her job to smile and be welcoming to the customer, she most likely did not want to be at work. Additionally, I noticed that when customers approached the counter about 90 percent of them had their arms crossed. The act of crossing ones arms usually means that a person is trying to put a barrier between them and a situation that they either don’t like, or are uncomfortable with. This may mean that the customers were displeased with having to wait in line to get their food, on the other hand it may be that they were simply comfortable folding their arms. Once they reached the front of the line, every customer pointed to the food they wanted along with verbally telling the employee. This made their communication more effective as it helped to overcome the barrier of sound because the restaurant was noisy.

When interacting with others, how do you perceive your own interpersonal style on the tense/relaxed and formal/informal continuums?

As with any other care recipient, indirect eye contact may also be due to anger, anxiety, boredom, or fear, and therefore other signals from the care recipient should always be taken into consideration.

locking eyes with the person asking the questions. Navarro (2009) points out that there is no research to prove this myth and that it is more likely anxiety or nervousness that prevents the person from looking directly at the person asking the question. Navarro (2009) also points out many other subtleties that go with eye movements such as rapid or slow blinking and what they mean.

Body language, while easily overlooked as a means of communication, is used every day when people interact with one another. We interact beyond words by using what we call nonverbal signals. According to many experts in this field, such as James C. McCroskey and Virginia P. Richmond, the authors of Nonverbal Behavior in Interpersonal Relations, body language makes a huge difference in our daily communication. For example, the way we pose, the expressions on our face, and even the tone of our speech, which are all nonverbal communication methods, change the volume of speech and thus have various impacts on the overall communication. Almost half of our communications involves people’s use of body language to convey their thoughts, whether or not those happen unconsciously or consciously; understanding body language is very important for daily communication with one another. Since Eastern University is a small Christian college, students and professors have the opportunity to have better and intimate relationships with each other. Therefore, professors should not only use more efficient body languages to interact with students individually but also use various types of body language to improve class atmosphere. Furthermore, the use of body language can help international students have a better understanding of the American education system.

5 tip: 75 percent of the conversation is about eye contact because if you don't look ,the person that you are not looking at ,might think you're not paying attention and that just makes them feel like they're just wasting their words for nothing. Reacher Michael Argyle found that 70 to 80 percent is eye contact. How can you make someone listen or pay attention to you. In my opinion ,you can not make the conversation by talking to them about something that both of you guys like ,Like when a girl likes a guy they might make it awkward but when a guy talks to a girl they like ,the guy really get nervous because the run out of words to talk about or say something out of there head. Another point that i was try not to be nervous because that will

There are so many different sign languages all over the world such as America and there are other countries that use the same sign languages. However in this assignment will be focusing on Australians because Auslan is language that can be used every day and can be used by anyone.

This project has opened so many new opportunities for my dad and I to allow for our relationship to grow. The process of the project was difficult because of my target person not being available to me every day. I had to develop different communication strategies to use when interacting with him either on the phone or in person. As I mentioned those interactions before, I had to remain positive for myself and for my dad so that we could efficiently be able to have meaningful conversation. It was not easy for me to have a positive attitude all the time since I had other external factors going on in my life as well. For my reactions, I tried to have a neutral facial expression or a tone when we would communicate and it was something that I did

In chapter 5 reading I was overwhelm by the amount of information provide. However, I was able to find various topic that caught my attention. For example “the conflicted emotions that accompany their problems”. In regards to this, it made me think about my first conversation with my dyad partner, about her conflicted emotion towards her problems with communicating with loved ones. Therefore, this made me further analyze others behaviors. By doing this, it will allow me to formulate a better understanding of client’s problems and how this will open my eyes to better understand why these feeling may arise within them. It amazes me how something as simple as noticing clients conflicted emotions can allow there to be an opening for more in depth conversation with them.

By the way that's a really pretty name. I understand what you mean by the eye contact, however I know in some cultures that making eye contact is a sign of disrespect and that is one of the reason I did not mention that in the question. I tried to generalize it by saying “paying attention”. I felt like that may have been appropriate for any culture of students.

There are many ways that the painting called Lover’s Eyes can be interpreted. At first when I looked at the painting it does not really seem to fit in the “monstrous” theme. This theme revolves around the idea of being a creature that acts or looks like a monster, for example doing crimes that cannot be seen as humane in any shape or form. However, when I looked at this piece a bit more I wondered why was there a women looking through a small window. Why was she in a place where there was such a small window in the first place and what story lies behind all this? That’s what made me pick this piece. Even though we can only see a very small part of her, I questioned what was the reason for that. Could it be that she is hiding a part of

In this article, the researchers studied the effect of an auditory signal on one’s perception of eye gaze. They mention that people are born with the ability to differentiate between direct and adverted gaze, and this ability becomes increasingly important throughout adulthood. Another important social signal involves a person’s auditory system. In infancy, children become sensitive to hearing their own name. This auditory signal often occurs at the same time as direct eye contact. The researchers in this study were trying to determine the correlation between someone hearing his/her own name and that person’s perception of the speaker’s gaze. The article mentioned earlier studies have shown that a person’s gaze tends to gravitate

The next time you go down to your neighborhood supermarket take a stroll down the cereal aisle and you'll find something quite interesting.

Have you ever wondered how handedness and eye dominance are associated? Do these things have anything to do with your eyes sensitivity levels? This experiment will explore these questions and more by comparing how sensitive your eye is and how far your peripheral vision can span with left and right eyes. I will also find if ocular dominance has any play into peoples peripheral vision and how far they can see left or right. In this case, eye dominance is the variable, and the peripheral vision span will affect the variable by seeing if left or right dominant eyes can see farther in peripheral vision than the non-dominant eye

In “The Birthmark” and “Eye of the Beholder”, two writers provide opinions on beauty and perfection. While the messages, provided by the literary devices, are similar, the end results are very different. Hawthorn uses metaphors, allusions, and symbolism to show that rejecting imperfection in life to obtain true beauty will lead to death either identically, physically or both; while the Twilight Zone episode uses repetition, idioms, and metaphors to show that the individual should appreciate their own beauty and not rely on society’s standards to tell them what is perfect.
