Smiling may not only be an outcome of an emotion but also have a direct impact on one's emotional experience. This is the idea behind the Facial Feedback theory and it holds an important position in recent theories of emotions. In this study, the theory has been experimentally researched by focusing on both implicit and explicit responses while having each participant go through two facial conditions and being presented with the pleasant, unpleasant and neutral stimuli (affective pictures). Implicit responses collected are startle reflex modulation, skin conductance and heart rate, whereas the explicit ones are the self-ratings of valence and arousal. Two facial conditions which each participant went through were fake smiling and non-smiling. What we found out is that there is a highly significant discrepancy between implicit and explicit responses, meaning that our consciousness and non-consciousness in respect to the facial feedback theory do not match. As for explicit responses, smiling proves to have an expected effect on the self-rated pleasantness level: when fake-smiling people consciously rate pictures more positively on the valence scale, across all emotion categories. This means that the facial feedback theory is true for the explicit responses collected in this study. Nevertheless, being reflective of implicit responses, the results showed that our brain responses not only fail to perceive pictures more positively when fake smiling but also, in fact, perceive pictures more negatively. This means that the facial feedback theory does not truly represent what goes on deep in one's brain.
