facial-feedback hypothesis  

Definición

  • According to this hypothesis, facial movements associated with an emotion will induce the corresponding emotional state. Consistent with this hypothesis, several studies demon strate that smiling can induce positive feelings, in part perhaps because it also prompts you to recall positive experiences.
