I think one thing that distinguishes the line of research in embodied cognition--the "smiling can make you feel happier" work--and the line cited in this article is the emotional starting place. I think a lot of the embodied cognition work assumes that you are starting from a more or less neutral mood, while the research discussed here focuses on the suppression of negative emotion while faking happiness. Also, of course, people in the embodied cognition studies are not made to smile ALL FRICKING DAY LONG while enduring all kinds of hassle and frustration.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376389949707679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602622501663834998.post-27715800768452902192017-04-25T09:08:47.085-05:002017-04-25T09:08:47.085-05:00The article about being grumpy at works seems to d...The article about being grumpy at works seems to dispel the smile (even if you aren't in a good mood) until your mood is changed for the better theory. I can understand people being forced to smile and act nice when not in the mood would end up being depressed. I think it would be so exhausting, not to mention feeling resentful, to have to fake that all day.Momnoreply@blogger.com
