, found strong evidence that posed smiles can, in fact, improve one’s mood.
Prior to the research, Coles said he considered himself "a fence-sitter" when it comes to the facial feedback hypothesis. Previous research on the subject has brought mixed results, so he sought to "settle the matter in a way that would convince both skeptics and believers," Standford University wrote in a post about the paper.
In each group, half of the participants performed the task while looking at images of puppies, kittens, flowers, and fireworks, while the other half saw a blank screen, the researchers said. They also saw the same types of images while being directed to use neutral facial expressions. The results showed a noticeable increase in happiness from participants mimicking the smiling actors or pulling their mouths toward their ears. But similar to previous studies, they didn’t find a strong mood change in participants using the pen-in-mouth technique."Going into the study, we assumed that all three techniques created the correct muscular configuration for an expression of happiness.
