Lenora's parents always taught her that she ought to "put on a happy face" even when she is not. according to research on self-perception theory, what effect does this behavior have on her corresponding internal state? it makes her seem like a fake. it works—behaving as if she is happy can actually make lenora feel happier. it does not work and actually makes some people even unhappier. none of the above are correct.
