Darwin Was Wrong: Your Facial Expressions Do Not Reveal Your Emotions

Do your facial movements broadcast your emotions to other people? If you think the answer is yes, think again. This question is under contentious debate.

They point to hundreds of studies that appear to demonstrate that smiles, frowns, and so on are universal facial expressions of emotion.
