Washington, Oct 25: People who have experienced social rejection by family, friends, or peers acquire a sense to tell “fake” smiles from the “real” ones, says a new Miami University study.

The study demonstrated that people who have faced rejection have an enhanced ability to determine whether the “happy” face before them is genuine or not.

Led by Michael Bernstein, a Miami doctoral student in social psychology and one of the researchers, the study was conducted on 32 subjects, 17 women and 15 men.

The researchers found that the subjects who were manipulated to feel rejection could distinguish a fake smile from a real one nearly 80 percent of the time.
