The main purpose of this study is to identify various
characteristics in eye behavior between Japanese and
Americans. There are many characteristics common to
both cultures but there are also many differences between
them. Japanese and Americans have different
levels for acceptable amounts of eye contact and different
rules for when it should occur. It seems desirable
that both Japanese and Americans should acquaint themselves
with important aspects of eye behavior in order
to improve and promote intercultural understanding.
