- Costa Ricans tend to favor direct eye contact over indirect.
- During conversations sustained eye contact is commonplace rather than sporadic.
- Direct eye contact is necessary if you want to deliver a consistent message, therefore, when speaking to elderly, superiors and people who you want to show respect for, you should always try to maintain direct eye contact.
- In informal situations, direct eye contact is not needed 100%. In this case, if you stare too much, you could be misunderstood.
