- Brazilians favor direct eye contact over indirect. However, service people such as maids, delivery people, repair people, etc., will often avoid eye contact when dealing with people they are serving or working for.
- During conversations sustained eye contact is commonplace rather than intermittent. They associate a steady gaze with sincerity.
- Brazilians tend to look at each other often in public places/situations (on a bus, in the elevator, etc.)
