Detailed explanation-1: -The facial feedback hypothesis suggests that individuals’ emotional experiences are influenced by their facial expressions. For example, smiling should typically make individuals feel happier, and frowning should make them feel sadder.
Detailed explanation-2: -The facial feedback hypothesis stems from the underlying principles of the James-Lange theory of emotion in the belief that physiological responses to stimuli generate emotion. In the words of facial feedback researcher Tomkins (1962), emotions are “sets of muscle and glandular responses located in the face.”
Detailed explanation-3: -The facial-feedback theory of emotions suggests that facial expressions are connected to experiencing emotions. Charles Darwin and William James both noted early on that, sometimes, physiological responses often have a direct impact on emotion, rather than simply being a consequence of the emotion.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tomkins (1962, 1963) suggested that emotional facial expressions are generated by emotion-specific, evolution-based “affect programs”; in sup-port of this notion, it has been proposed that genetically coded emotional reaction systems are “wired” into the nervous system (e.g., Panksepp, 2007).
