Abstract

Summary The effect upon mutual eye contact of two seating positions (opposite and beside), sex of pairs (male-male, female-female, and male-female), and three divisions of adult age (young, middle, and senior) was examined by observing 216 pairs of white adults who frequented four shopping centers in the metropolitan area of a Midwestern American city. The results showed that pairs seated opposite each other had significantly more mutual eye contact than pairs seated adjacent to each other. Young and senior adults engaged in significantly more mutual eye contact than did middle-age adults. Significant interactions were obtained for sex of pairs and age, and for seating position, sex, and age.
