In a presentation the speaker's words show confidence but the speaker keeps looking down. Why may listeners feel confused?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Inconsistency between verbal and non-verbal messages

Effective communication depends on reasonable consistency between verbal content and non-verbal behaviour. Confident words communicate assurance, while continuously looking down may suggest nervousness, avoidance, low engagement, or uncertainty. These competing signals can make listeners unsure which message to trust. The confusion is therefore caused by inconsistency between verbal and non-verbal messages, not by presentation length, topic simplicity, or audience size. The speaker should use comfortable eye contact and an appropriate posture.
