Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

In my culture, one example of a "display rule" is the expectation to show respect to elders by using specific forms of address and gestures. For example, when addressing an older person, it is customary to use honorific titles such as "uncle" or "auntie" in addition to their name, as a sign of respect. Additionally, it is expected to bow slightly when greeting or saying goodbye to an elder as a display of deference. These display rules are ingrained in our culture as a way to show reverence and honor towards older individuals, and failing to adhere to these rules can be seen as disrespectful.

In both Fiji and the United States, people tend to assume that a person displaying pride has high social status.

Question 16

Your textbook describes a complicated situation in the literature on the facial feedback hypothesis. On one hand, many studies conducted by several different research teams have supported this hypothesis. On the other hand, when 17 researchers conducted the original pen-in-the-mouth study by Strack, Martin, and Stepper (1988), the results failed to replicate the original study findings. In your essay, describe the facial feedback hypothesis, and suggest a way for researchers to decide whether it is correct or not in the face of this conflicting evidence.
