In a simple experiment, we demonstrate that you don't need to mindfully look at the eyes of your audience to be perceived as making eye contact during face-to-face conversation. Simply gazing somewhere around the face/head area will suffice. Or to borrow a term from Mareschal and colleagues, direct gaze will suffice. For those readers who experience anxiety when gazing specifically at another person's eyes, or when being gazed at, we expect this is welcome news.
在一个简单的实验中，我们证明，在面对面交谈时，你无需刻意看向对方的眼睛就能被视为有眼神交流。只需看向脸部/头部周围的某个地方就足够了。或者借用马雷夏尔及其同事的一个术语来说，直接注视就足够了。对于那些在特意注视他人眼睛或被他人注视时会感到焦虑的读者来说，我们认为这是个好消息。
