Research Abstract

Eighty undergraduates, 52 males and 28 females, participated in the experiments to examine whether the facial sensation of having the cheeks lifted would bring about a good feeling, by applying one of two types of paired adhesive bandages with a chain of rubber bands designed to either raise or lower the cheeks. Then, they rated neutral targets preceded by three types of prime photos on a three-point scale in a modified Affect Misattribution Procedure. The results showed that the participants whose cheeks were raised tended to rate the targets statistically more favorably than did those whose cheeks were lowered.
