Le bon dieu est dans le detail: Is smiling the recognition of happiness?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 December 2010

We question two conceptual assumptions made by Niedenthal et al.: the dichotomy between true and false smiles and the close tie between recognition and experience of emotion. An excessive dependence on everyday language suggests overly parsimonious accounts of a complex set of relations between smile, experience, and context.
