superiors, a gesture of respect.
 Latin American cultures, as well as
some African cultures, such as
Nigeria, have longer gaze times, but
prolonged eye contact from
individuals of lower status is
considered disrespectful.
 In the US, staring is considered
disrespectful – regardless of who is
looking at whom.
 In contrast, polite English people
are taught to pay close
attention to the speaker, listen
carefully, and wink to let the speaker
know that he or she has been
understood as well asbeing heard.
 Americans show interest and
understanding by shaking their
heads or grunting.
 An eye dilation can also be
interpreted differently, depending
on the circumstances and culture.
Take, for example, the case of an
American and a Chinese discussing
the terms of a proposed contract.
Regardless of the language in which the
proposed contract is executed, US negotiators
could interpret the Chinese's widening eyes
