According to Weiten, who cited the research efforts of Vida & Maurer, the ability in humans…

Men get distracted easier which makes it harder to focus into the eyes. Women pay close attention because their eyes show more emotion…

face, eyes, space, and artifacts to observe the behaviors. While I was observing the girls, it became obvious that they were friends catching up on the latest gossip. Nonetheless, the meeting was casual but relaxed. The two girls chose a medium sized round table with five chairs, but chose the chairs closest to each other with about two feet distance.

To the Americans, a smile is a way of expressing friendliness or being comfortable with a person or an idea. As such, Americans freely smile with strangers. On the contrary,…

Communication is a key aspect to our survival on this planet. If we didn’t communicate, we wouldn’t be able to do much in any aspects of our lives. We use verbal communication to actually say what we mean, but we also use nonverbal communication. That is like body language, facial expression, gestures and eye contact. When someone is talking to you, you should make sure you are analyzing all of these and also listening to what they are saying. In this paper I compare the United States vs…
