During testing, the participants were engaged in a multitasking activity that caused them stress and dipped a hand into the icy water, which in itself invigorates the body. While some participants had done all the stunts without emotion, other standard smiling (helped not to smile a special wand in his mouth), and others smiled sincerely with all possible muscles in the face.
