Abstract
Baby FACS coding of smiling by 6-month-old infants with and without craniofacial anomalies in the Still Face Paradigm revealed lower rates of more intense smiles in infants with rarer and more severe facial conditions. Maternal depression, anxiety, and sensitivity may partially explain infant group differences in intensities of smiling.
