Participants (n=585) were recruited through social media and undergraduate classrooms for an online survey about smile solicitations. Ninety-two percent reported being asked to smile, 56% reported soliciting smiles from others, and 52% described specific incidents (now content coded). Women were solicited more than men. Men solicited more than women.
