Have you ever had the feeling you have before you a person who smiles for the occasion?
Ekman created in collaboration with the BBC this nice test to test your ability to distinuere a true and genuine smile from a fake.
With the facial feedback theory he argues that the feedback from facial muscles affects the emotion that the subject test, which means that the sensory feedback resulting from facial expressions contributes to the emotion we feel at any given time.
This shows that, as the brain expressing emotion starts to move certain facial muscles, these muscles also operating voluntarily, there is a statistically significant resonance on an emotional level.
In practice one should think that way: those happy smiles but he is happy because he smiles too often.
