Assignment

According to Beebe, Beebe & Redmond (2011), you are more likely to make eye contact when (to name a few):

• You like or love your partner (or other family member)
• Are discussing pleasant topics
• Are an extrovert
• Are listening rather than talking
• Have a high need to be liked

Take a moment and consider one of your closest familial relationships. Do these findings hold true for you in this relationship? What other non-verbal cues do you utilize or notice? Explain.
