Tyreece and his friend Laura are looking through an old yearbook from high school. They notice that some of the kids in the pictures are smiling broadly while others have fake or weak smiles
Based on what you know about research correlating personality and facial expressions, what might they be able to predict about the people's marriages?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Tyreece and Laura might find that the kids who smiled broadly in the pictures were more likely, even years later, to have a happy marriage. This may be because smiling is correlated with personality traits related to positive emotions such as extraversion and agreeableness.
