In which situation may it be more appropriate to reduce eye contact?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When sustained eye contact is making the other person feel uncomfortable
Eye contact can communicate attention and confidence, but it should be natural, culturally appropriate, and comfortable for both people. If sustained eye contact makes the listener uncomfortable, looking away briefly and varying the gaze is more respectful. In the other situations, moderate and natural eye contact can support rapport and active listening; staring continuously is not required.
