QUESTION 2

Then they were either asked to smile for 90 seconds (the smile group) or to look at a neutral picture (the control group) for the 90 seconds. Then they took the mood survey again. Emily, a new and very eager research assistant, ran the control condition. Barry, a nervous and slightly bitter 4th year graduate student, ran the smile condition. The comparison of the smiling group to the control group revealed that the control group had a significantly better mood than the smiling group. Dr. Hemming's idea for this study was based on _____?

		Method of experience
