EFFECTS OF LOOKING AT SMILING AND CRYING FACES ON GRIP STRENGTH

Abstract

This study is aimed to evaluate the effects of smiling or crying facial expression on grip strength. 12 right-handed basketball players (age group 18-28) were included in the study. Grip strength was measured with Riester dinamometer after the players looked at the drawing of a "crying face" for 5 seconds from a distance of 40 cm. at the eye level. Straight after, they were shown the drawing of a "smiling face" and were asked to grip with the same condition. Once all 12 players carried out this experiment, the order in which the drawings were shown was reversed and the measurement were made again in the same fashion. The statistics obtained thereby were subjected to non-parametric correlation and Wilcoxon test.
