A new study finds more eye contact makes people less likely to agree with a persuasive argument, especially if they're already skeptical.

I kind of wonder how valid this study's methodology is. Varying whether the watcher looks at a video speaker's eyes or mouth doesn't seem closely analogous to whether an actual speaker looks at the watcher's eyes or not.
