We know that one’s emotions affect one’s facial muscles to produce the expressions we understand as happiness, sadness, anger, fear,frustration, etc.   Is it also true, though that, aside from regulating
intensity of an existing emotion, the muscles in one’s face can create

or change one’s emotions?

Before answering this DQ, please conduct all four steps of the following experiment.  There are no right or wrong answers, so just relax, don’t over think what you are doing, and enjoy the experience! You will need a long pencil, pen, stiff straw, or chopstick, and apiece of paper on which to write.  You will be asked to complete an action, and then to record a couple of small bits of information.  When you record the information, write your answers with your non-dominanth and.  In other words, if you are right handed, write your answers using your left hand; if you are left-handed, write your answers using your right hand.  (Writing with one’s non-dominant hand accesses the intuitive, emotional side of one’s brain.)  To earn full credit for this DQ, you must conduct the experiments yourself, but feel free to have a friend or family member also conduct this experiment, and then compare your answers.


1.  Place the end of the pencil, pen, straw or chopstick between your lips, then tighten your lower lip so the pencil or stick flips upward slightly.  Mentally count to five, and then (with the pencil still in place), write with your non-dominant hand five to ten words to describe“weather.”

2.  Raise your eyebrows as high as you can, mentally count to five, and while your eyebrows are raised, write with your non-dominant hand five to ten words that describe “weather.”

3.  “Knit” your brow (i.e., bring your eyebrows together as tightly as possible), count to five, then with your brow still knit, write with your non-dominant hand five to ten words that describe “weather.”

4.   Gently hold the center of the pen, pencil, straw, or chopstick horizontally (side to side) as far back in the mouth as comfortably possible (each end of the pencil or pen should be outside of the mouth), count to five, then with the pencil still in place, write with your non-dominant hand five to ten words to describe “weather.”  
   
To complete this   DQ, please answer the following questions in this thread:

What are the descriptions you wrote in each phase of the experiment?  What feelings or emotions, if any, did you experience in each phase?  What insights did you gain from looking at your results of the experiment?

So that your perceptions are not biased prior conducting the experiments, I ask that you not read any of your classmates’ responses to this DQ before completing your experiments.
