Messages that are communicated by the eyes varies depending on the eye behavior.We communicate a lot of messages through eye movement.We can get feedback from other person by using eye movement,for instance when we are talking to someone,we mght look at him/her & glare,as if to say “well,what do you think?”.We can also inform the other person that he can speak now by looking at him/her.For example,when a lecturer ask a question & look at a student randomly,the lecturer conveys the expectation that the student will answer the question,and the student will eventually understand.
Eye movement also may signal the nature of a relationship,whether positive(an attentive glance)or negative (avoidance).Furthermore,eye contact can also change the physhological distance between ourself and another person.For example,when we catch someone’s eye at partywe will become physchologically close even though you are physically far apart.By avoiding eye contact,even when we are physically close with someone in a crowded elevator will only increase the phsychological distance between us and others.On the contrary,eye movement can also signal lack of interest in a person or a conversation.
