Oculesics
1 Introduction
As a social or behavioral science, oculesics is a form of nonverbal communication focusing on deriving meaning from eye behavior.
The word oculesics comes from the word oculus, which is Latin for eye.
2 Dimensions of Oculesics
There are four aspects involved with oculesics:
Dimension 1: Eye Contact
There are three levels of eye contact:
Direct eye contact
Indirect eye contact
Duration (持续的) of eye contact
Dimension 2: Eye Movement
Eye Movement occurs voluntarily or involuntarily. It can include changing eye direction, changing focus, or following objects with the eyes.
Dimension 3: Pupil Dilation(瞳孔扩张)
Pupillary response（瞳孔反应） is change in the size of the pupil(瞳孔), voluntarily or involuntarily. This change happens at the appearance of real or perceived new objects of focus, and even at the real or perceived indication of such appearances[7]
Dimension 4: Gaze Direction
Gazing deals with communicating and feeling intense desire with the eye, voluntarily or involuntarily.
3 how people use eye contact to express their emotions
Eye behaviors with emotional summaries:[36]
Eyes up - Different people look up for different reasons. Some look up when they are thinking. Others perform that action in an effort to recall something from their memory. Eyes down - Avoiding eye contact, or looking down, can be a sign of submission or fear. Lateral movement(横向运动) of eyes - Looking away from the person to whom one is speaking could be a sign that something else has taken their interest.
Gazing - Staring at someone means that a person shows sincere interest. Staring at a person's lips can indicate that someone wants to kiss another person. In general, staring means, "I want that."
Glancing - Glancing can show a person's true desires. For instance, glancing at a door might mean that someone wants to leave. Glancing at a glass of water might mean that a person is thirsty.
Eye contact - Eye contact is powerful and shows sincere interest if it is unbroken. A
