“…However, within this phenotype there is individual and group variation in people's ability and tendency to produce facial expressions based on factors such as culture (Chentsova-Dutton et al, 2007;Jack et al, 2012), age (Chapell, 1997), gender (Chaplin and Aldao, 2013;Hess et al, 2000), and psychopathology (e.g. Bylsma et al, 2008;Fagundo et al, 2013;Kring and Moran, 2008;Rosenthal et al, 2008).…”

“…Dimensions of nonpathological variability include interpersonal success in nonverbal communication (Strahan and Conger, 1998) and overall expressiveness (DePaulo, 1992). There are also sex differences in facial expression, especially for smiling, with women smiling more (Briton and Hall, 1995;Chapell, 1997;LaFrance and Hecht, 1999). LaFrance and Hecht (1999) maintain that women are not comfortable unless they are smiling.…”

“…In addition to underlying physical variation in the face and in movement, empirically measured facial behavior varies according to factors such as sex (Briton and Hall, 1995;Chapell, 1997), age (Chapell, 1997), and cultural background (Ekman, 1973;Kupperbusch et al, 1999). Also important in facial expression are individualized factors, such as sociality of situation (Fridlund, 1994;Friedman and MillerHerringer, 1991;Jakobs et al, 1999) and the emotion-eliciting nature of visual or other stimuli (Cohn and Tronick, 1983).…”

“…From this perspective, there is a less precise relationship between facial expressions and their meaning; rather, particular behavioral intentions are broadly associated with facial expressions and the social context helps define the meaning of the expression. In support of this view, researchers have found facial behavior to vary according to factors such as age (Chapell, 1997), gender (Briton & Hall, 1995;Chapell, 1997), cultural background (Ekman, 1973), and the context of the situation (Fridlund, 1994).…”
