Generally in Western societies and many other cultures, eye contact with a person is expected to be regular but not overly persistent. Constant eye contact is often considered to be an attempt at intimidation, causing the person who's the object of a person's gaze to feel overly studied and uncomfortable.
Although an example of an exception, in certain cultures a lack of eye contact is considered a sign of respect. Yet in many countries, very little or no eye contact during an encounter, is a signal of extreme disrespect. Sometimes, it is an effort to avoid an escalation of negative emotions. Another example where eye contact is very crucial, yet under delivered, is during a handshake. Itâs amazing how many âprofessionalsâ lack this important component of the greeting. A helpful technique is to observe the color of the other personâs eyes (irises) during the handshake.
