Although not addressed in the present research, these results
may have implications for younger and older adults’ social functioning.
Misidentifying an enjoyment smile as a nonenjoyment
smile could result in younger adults missing out on high-quality
social interactions with others. Alternatively, mistaking a nonenjoyment
smile for an expression of happiness may impact older
adults’ social behavior (e.g., asking a favor or continuing conversations
with those who wish to offer only a polite greeting smile)
and could result in unreciprocated attempts at social contact.
Studies have found an age-related increase in some socially inappropriate
behaviors (e.g., making socially inappropriate comments
and engaging in extended speech; Henry, von Hippel, & Baynes,
2009). Where behaviors seem inappropriate and are unreciprocated,
this may result in decreases in social engagement, with older
adults becoming less likely to try to forge new social relationships
(see Carstensen et al., 2003, for a review)
