The facial feedback effect suggests that expressing a specific emotion, especially facially, influences the subjective experience of that particular emotion. This means that when we make certain facial expressions associated with an emotion, we can actually feel that emotion more strongly. For example, if we smile, we may actually feel happier, and if we frown, we may actually feel more sad. This effect has been found to be consistent across cultures.
