To assess the effects of familiarity on the duration of mutual gaze, and other measures of visual interaction, e.g., duration of unilateral gaze and discrepancy in duration between partners, 14 male-female dyads discussed unconditional positive regard for 8 min., after individually studying the topic for 10 min. Mutual gaze duration was significantly longer during the last 2 min. of the discussion than during the first 2 min. This suggests that, after some exposure at least, participants maintain longer durations of mutual gaze. Further, if the duration of mutual gaze is interpreted as a measure of intimacy, even a relatively short social interaction appears to increase the intimacy between two individuals of opposite sex. However, it is not clear whether these findings could be generalized to male-male and female-female dyads.
为了评估熟悉程度对相互注视持续时间以及其他视觉互动指标（例如单侧注视持续时间和双方持续时间差异）的影响，14对男女组合在各自对该主题进行10分钟的研究后，就无条件积极关注进行了8分钟的讨论。在讨论的最后2分钟内，相互注视的持续时间明显长于前2分钟。这表明，至少在经过一定接触后，参与者会保持更长时间的相互注视。此外，如果将相互注视的持续时间解释为亲密程度的一种衡量标准，那么即使是相对较短的社交互动似乎也会增加异性个体之间的亲密程度。然而，尚不清楚这些发现是否可以推广到男男组合和女女组合。
