It gives some substance to what people have talked about forever, i.e., the not-so-great side effects of face lifts (aside from the outright bad jobs that make people look like they've been in a train wreck or their pigtails are too tight). I was surprised, though, that apathy wasn't on the list of interpretations to choose from, which is where I would have put a couple of faces. In addition to a 'who gives a flip' attitude, I think apathy can more often signal a less-intense form of anger, as well as sadness and tiredness. No matter, I suppose. The research makes me feel better about my smile crinkles. :D Really interesting.
