Research Journal Entry 15 Eye Contact Is Attractive

There’re researchers in Scotland discovering a way for us to make ourselves attractive to others, and that is just looking straight at them and smiling. The study showed that people are less attractive if they take their eye contact off others whom they’re looking at. The study digitally altered photographs of men’s and women’s faces. One type of picture showed a person looking directly at the camera, while in another one the same person was looking slightly to the left or right. Actually the difference was so small that it was hard to notice it. However, there were 460 volunteers who voted the two photographs, and the result indicated that the former photograph had a higher rating for “attractiveness”. Therefore, in order to enhance my attractiveness, next time I will definitely look straight at others when I talk to them.
