Facil Feedback Hypothesis- yes, this happens.
Source? My college class; Dr. Howard Erlichman co-wrote it.
You will be able to get plenty of cited studies, and go get the actual articles once you check out the bibliography.
Ithink the title is "The Psychology of Emotions."

No, quite the opposite... How one feels influences ones facial expression.

I believe that facial expressions are involuntary, and show truly how one feels.
For example if one was to steal something and one was caught the facial expression would show how one was guilty.

Yes, look up studies done on this. When someone smiles, even if it's fake, they start to feel better. It's like a reverse reaction.
