Common experience suggests the complexity and subtlety of visual interaction. Looking at someone can communicate attentiveness and can suggest a willingness to accept influence from another person. Conversely, withholding eye contact can indicate lack of involvement and can suggest nonresponsiveness toward another. Eye contact, though, is more than a one-way communication channel. As the eyes give attention, they simultaneously take in information about others. Withholding visual attention, therefore, also restricts the acquisition of information about another. Although visual patterning can reveal many aspects of an individual and the nature of an interaction, this chapter will focus primarily on how power and dominance are communicated. We will explore two areas: (1) how dominance is encoded, or transmitted, visually, and (2) how individuals decode, or interpret, visual patterns.
