Aim - does eye movement have an effect on the flow of peoples converstaions.
Method - Asked pairs of participants to get aquainted. Conversations were being secretly watched by observers using a one way mirror.
Results - When one person was about to speak they looked away from the other person, they avoided eye contact. There were also pauses in the converstation.
Conclusion - Eye Movement keeps a converstaion going by signalling them to take turns.
Evaluation - Its unethial as pairs didnt know they were being watched. It lacked in ecological validity.
