Eye contact during introductions is an important non-verbal communication cue. The amount of eye contact we make might influence how others perceive our character. Psychologists want to investigate the effect of 'continuous' compared to 'intermittent' eye contact during a brief introduction on how trustworthy a person is thought to be. Participants will watch a video of an introduction showcasing either continuous or intermittent eye contact, and then complete a questionnaire containing closed questions about the speaker's trustworthiness.
