Recently a pyschologist from DePauw University in Indiana, Matthew Hertenstein and colleagues evaluated the smiles in the school yearbook photos of 225 women and 124 men, ages 21 to 81.
Those invovled in the study were asked to provide details about their personal life, these details were then put together to come to this new finding.
The researchers also examined youthful photos of people age 65 and older, who were asked if they’d ever been in a committed relationship or divorced.
The results showed that 11 percent of those with the biggest smiles in their photos were divorced, compared with 31 percent of people who frowned in photographs, UPI reported.
“The study, published in the journal Motivation and Emotion, demonstrates that extremely small behavior clues can reveal how people will fare in marriage”, Hertenstein said.
