Researchers in Glasgow say that subtle movements around the eyes may influence how confident a person appears while speaking. They suggest that raising an eyebrow or using a slow blink could project self-assurance to an audience.
The observations focus on non-verbal signals used during speech, rather than on the words being delivered. According to the researchers, these small facial movements may affect how a speaker is perceived by listeners.
The findings point to the importance of eyebrows and eye movements in presentations and other situations where people want to appear confident. However, the supplied material does not provide further details about the research methods, participants or circumstances in which the signals were assessed.
