Studies conducted by Marvin Hest and Marianne La Frans of Boston University have shown that people prone to submission and submission are more often smiling in the presence of those who lead or dominate them. This situation persists in both friendly and unfriendly situations. Those who occupy a leading position smile to their subordinates only in friendly circumstances.
The same study showed that women are more likely than men to smile both in communication and at work. As a result, the woman begins to look submissive and weak compared to the harsh, unsmiling men. Some argue that the smilingness of women is the result of their historically subordinate position. However, other studies show that at the age of eight weeks, girls smile much more often than boys. From this we can conclude that female smile - the quality is innate, and not learned. Most likely, a smile corresponds to the evolutionary role of a woman - the role of a peacemaker and caretaker. This does not mean that a woman cannot be as authoritative as a man. But smiling makes her less authoritative and authoritative.
| Women's smiling nature itself is embedded in the brain of a woman.

Psychologist Nancy Hanley calls a woman's smile "peacemaker sign." A smile is often used to pacify more powerful men. Dr. Hanley’s research has shown that women communicate 87% of the time, and men only 67% smile. Women are 26% more likely to smile in response to members of the other sex. During one experiment, 257 men were asked to evaluate the attractiveness of women from photographs. Women with a sad expression were the least attractive. Women without a smile are considered unhappy, but unsmiling men are traditionally considered to be powerful and energetic. From here we can draw one conclusion: when dealing with powerful men in a business setting, women should smile less often or as much as their interlocutor smiles. If a man wants to convince a woman of being right, he needs to smile more often.
