1 Why is the girl in the photo smiling?

Why is the girl in the photo smiling? It sounds like


an easy question: she’s having a good time with
friends and she’s feeling good after a good shot.
But psychologists are forever arguing about this
question.
Some believe that smiling is an individual act: we
smile because we feel happy ... unless we’re trying
to hide our emotions. Others claim that we smile to
build social relationships. Some animals use a grin
to show that they don’t want to fight, for example,
so perhaps our smile serves the same function.
So who’s right? In one study, researchers filmed
people bowling. If you watch people doing a
very social activity like this, it looks as if they’re
always smiling. They stop smiling only when they
are concentrating on their next shot. But when
do they start smiling again? After each good shot,
the researchers took photographs to identify when
the smile starts – while the player is still looking
down the alley or a few seconds later when they
turn round to share their happiness with the
group?
And the results? Only around 4% of bowlers
smile with their backs to their friends. Far more
– 42% – smile as soon as they turn round. The
conclusion: we usually smile not because we’re
happy, but because we’re friendly.
