The \"Real Life\" section says that \"If a person fakes a smile (or a frown) their mood will be affected accordingly.\" This example should be removed because it is false. Faking a smile does not improve mood.
1. A couple years ago, 17 independent studies attempted to replicate the \"classic\" Strack study which claimed to show that making people smile makes them happy. Every one of the 17 found that smiling does nothing.
2. Even the Strack study did not claim that *fake* smiles can help, only that Duchenne smiles can – and Duchenne smiles cannot be forced intentionally, since they are caused by the (involuntary) orbicularis oculi muscle.
3. Another recent study found that if you believe smiles will improve your mood, then forcing a smile will make the opposite happen.
4. Another recent study found that inauthentic smiles worsened bus drivers\' moods.
