We smile because we are happy, and we disagree because we are sad. But it is that the point of the causal arrow the other way, too? A number of recent studies of the beneficiaries of botox and others suggests that our emotions are enhanced, perhaps by their corresponding facial expressions driven.
Charles Darwin first raised the idea that emotional responses influence our feelings in 1872. "The free expression by outward signs of an emotion intensifies," he wrote. The psychologist William James believed that the 19th century was so far to say that if a person does not express an emotion that has not felt at all. Although few scientists would agree with this statement today, there is evidence that emotions involve more the brain. The face, in particular, seems to play an important role.
This February psychologists at the University of Cardiff in Wales found that people whose ability to frown compromised by cosmetic botox injections are happier, on average, than people who may frown. The researchers administered questionnaires of anxiety and depression in 25 women, half of whom received Botox injections that inhibit lion. Botox recipients reported feeling happier and less anxious in general; Most importantly, they say they feel more attractive, suggesting that the emotional effects are not driven by a psychological boost that could come from the aesthetic nature of the treatment."happy poems"
"It seems that the way we feel emotions is not limited to our brain are parts of our body that help and reinforce the feelings we're having," says Michael Lewis, co-author of the study. "It's like a feedback loop." In a related study of Mars, scientists from the Technical University of Munich in Germany botox receivers scanned with fMRI machine while asking them to imitate angry faces. They found that subjects botox has a much lower activity in brain circuits involved in the processing and emotional responses in stem parts of the amygdala, hypothalamus and brain compared to controls who had not received treatment.
The concept works in reverse, also improving the emotions instead of repressing them. People who frown at unpleasant procedure report feeling more pain than those who do not, according to a study published in May 2008 in the Journal of Pain. The researchers applied heat to the forearms of 29 participants who were invited to make faces or unhappy, neutral or relaxed during the procedure. These negative expressions had reported being in more pain than the other two groups. Lewis, who was not involved in the study, said he planned to study the effect of botox injections have on the perception of pain. "It is possible that people may feel less pain if they are not able to express it," he said."happy poems"
But we've all heard that it is a mistake to suppress our feelings, then what happens if a person intentionally eliminates negative emotions permanently? The work of Judith Grob psychologist at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands suggests that this repressed negativity can "leak" into other areas of a person's life. In a series of studies conducted for his doctoral thesis and submitted for publication, subjects were asked to look disgusting images, while hiding his emotions or while holding pens in the mouth in a way that prevented a frown. A third group could react as they wish.
As expected, the two groups that do not express their emotions reported feeling upset after less than controls. Then they gave the subjects a series of cognitive tasks that include fill-in-the-blank exercises. She found that the subjects who had suppressed their emotions in performance on memory tasks and tasks of words are made to produce more negative words completed "gr_ss" as "serious" instead of "grass", for example, compared with the controls. "People tend to do it regularly could begin to see the world from a negative perspective," says Grob. "When the face does not help you express the emotion, excitement seeking other channels to express itself.""happy poems"
