| Abstract: | In the past there have been many conflicting results from research done on the relationship between smiling and its effect on emotional responses. This experiment tested the theory that if a participant’s mouth is manipulated into the form of a smile it would change his or her perception of a humorous video clip. Participants consisted of 20 undergraduates who were divided into two conditions; one group viewed a video
clip with a manipulated smile on their face, and the other group, the control, were prevented from smiling. An independent samples t-test found significant results for the effect of a smile on the humor of the video clip. |
