The eyes are frequently referred to as the "windows to the
soul" since they are capable of revealing a great deal
about what a person if feeling or thinking. As you engage in
conversation with another person, taking note of eye
movements is a natural and important part of the
communication process. Some common things you may
note is whether people are making direct eye contact or
averting their gaze, how much they are blinking, or if their
pupils are dilated.

11. Contribution of EYES on Facial
Expressions
When evaluating body language, pay attention to the follow eye signals:
• Eye gaze
When a person looks directly into your eyes when having a conversion, it
indicates that they are interested and paying attention.
• Blinking
Blinking is natural, but you should also pay attention to whether a person
is blinking too much or too little. People often blink more rapidly when they
are feeling distressed or uncomfortable. Infrequent blinking may indicate
that a person is intentionally trying to control his or her eye movements.
• Pupil size
One of the most subtle cues that eyes provide is through the size of the
pupils. While light levels in the environment control pupil
dilation, sometimes emotions can also cause small changes in pupil size

– Assumptions
• Certain facial expressions of emotion are innate
• If emotions are expressed similarly regardless of culture
or situation it suggests that facial expressions are
important guides to emotion
• Facial expression is contextual social indicator of
behavioral intent
• Innate basic emotions view doesn’t adequately account
for ‘blends’
• No need to account for false/felt displays as all displays
arise out of social interaction
• Facial displays do not have to equate to the experienced
emotion
