All Smiles Are Positive, but Some Smiles Are More Positive than Others.
Messinger, Daniel S.; Fogel, Alan; Dickson, K. Laurie
Developmental Psychology, v37 n5 p642-53 Sep 2001
Observed weekly 13 infants from 1 to 6 months of age to determine when they produced different types of smiling and other facial expressions. Found that the cheek-raise and open-mouth dimensions of smiling appear to be associated with, respectively, amplification of processes of sharing positive affect and of visual engagement present to a lesser degree in smiling alone.
