The Unseen

Reading a Person Who’s Wearing a Mask

We’ve long known that we can learn a lot about people and what they're feeling by observing their face. But what about when their face is COVID-masked up? I offer suggestions in my Psychology Today article today.

Deciphering A Stranger's Eye Contact

For years now, six days a week, my doggie Einstein and I take a 45-minute hike around a lake that is so popular that each time, I pass 100  people walking in the opposite direction.

During those walks, I've made an informal study of people's eye contact as they approach me and others walking in my direction.

As a result, I have identified five types of eye contact and have developed hypotheses as to what they mean. I discuss those in my PsychologyToday.com article today.
