Question

PLS HELP! What is Kleinke, Peterson, and Rutledge's theories on facial feedback?

I can't find anything online, but maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.


(This would be related to psychology, but they don't have that choice for that topic)


Thanks in advance! :))

Answer 1

Aim: To examine if facial expressions would have an effect on positive and negative moods (facial feedback)

Sample: 131 undergraduate physiology students

Methodology: The experiment was described as a study of how accurately people can communicate facial expressions. Participants were shown a series of photographs and asked to mimic the expressions. One group was given a mirror to look into and the other was not. There was also a control group that did not mimic the expressions and instead were asked to keep a neutral face throughout the study. Mood assessments were taken at the beginning and end of the experiment.
