Why You Should Smile in Your Facebook Profile Photo

If you're not smiling in your Facebook photo, your life is probably going to
suck in four years time.

Reseachers J. Patrick Seder and Shigehiro Oishi at the University of
Virginia in Charlottesville discovered that smile intensity from a single
Facebook profile photo in the first semester of college predicted
self-reported life satisfaction three and a half years later, at the time of
college graduation.

This type of study isn't actually unique to Facebook, however. A 2011 study
by Harker and Keltner showed that female students smiling in their college
graduation yearbook photos from 1958 and 1960 were reportedly happier 30
years later. A similar study by Abel and Kruger (2010) found that
professional baseball players who smiled more intensely in archival photos
lived seven years longer than those who didn't smile much.
