Tekst 4:

Can smiling really 

make you happier?

Je komt een onderzoek tegen over gezichtsuitdrukkingen: door glimlachen zou je gelukkiger worden. Je bent nieuwsgierig hoe dit precies werkt en leest dit artikel.

Bij deze tekst horen 4 vragen.

De vragen gaan over:

- wat is de hoofdgedachte van alinea 1?

- wat was Darwin's eerste theorie over gezichtsuitdrukkingen in 1970?

- een groep mensen werd gevraagd om 3 dingen te doen; wat was de uitkomst van dat experiment?

- hoe zou je Robert Zajonc's theorie samenvatten?

What is the main idea in the first paragraph?

1. A serious facial expression could work against you.
2. Serious looking people get tired of being told that they should cheer up.
3. Smiling is likely to make unhappy people more cheerful.

What did Darwin first suggest back in the 1870s?
Changing your expression...

1. changes the way other people react to you.
2. influences your feelings.
3. makes you feel better.

In one of the experiments people were asked to do one of three things.

What is the conclusion of this experiment?

1. Participants who had to smile were the happiest.
2. Participants who only looked at images were the least happy.
3. Participants who saw their own reflection felt less emotion.

Which steps summarize Robert Zajonc's latest theory?

1. smiling --> less blood to the brain --> higher temperature --> more positive
2. smiling --> less blood to the brain --> lower temperature --> more positive
3. smiling --> moreblood to the brain --> higher temperature --> more positive
4. smiling --> more blood to the brain --> lower temperature --> more positive
