Voluntary smile- only utilizes mouth muscles, like the ones you put on for a photo. Duchenne smile- involves mouth muscles & the eyes muscles along it, aka full/ spontaneous. Facial feedback hypothesis- idea that emotions arise partly as a result of the positioning of facial muscles, b/c they send feedback to the brain about the basic emotions being expressed.
