MY STEPS:

I think that more people will smile back at you, if you smile at them first.

SMILE

When someone yawns, everyone else seems to yawn too. It’s the same with clearing your throat, but when someone smiles at you, do you do it out of habit or is it contagious?

I went to a mall and smiled at ten people, and didn’t smile at another set of ten people. I recorded the number of people that did or did not smile back at

me if I smiled at them first. I then recorded the number of people that did or did not smile at me

when I simply made eye contact with them.

My hypothesis was correct. More people

smile back at you when you smile at

them first, and fewer people smile at you if

you don’t smile at them first.
