facial expression and emotion.
does emotions affect facial expressions? or does facial expressions affect emotions? or both?a study where participants were told to contort their facial muscles in ways that created a smile or frown and shown a series of cartoons, they rated what they saw as funnier, and reported feeling happier, when they were smiling than when they were frowning. why?
trivia. did you know the the 80 muscles in our face can create over 7000 expressions? wow. tell that to those girls who love to video themselves expressing different emotions. lolx.
it is observed that facial movements spark emotion by producing physiological changes in the brain. smiling causes facial muscles to increase the flow of air-cooled blood to the brain, which produces a pleasant state by lowering the brain temperature. conversely, frowning decreases blood flow, producing an unpleasant state by raising temperation.
so does this change your perception of the questions in the opening line? i say both. =)
it is possible to alter how you feel by putting on the right face. similarly, how you feel also affects what face you put on.

p.s: video themselve. i know thats not exactly correct english. but do i look like care? hahahaha..
