Put on your game face.
Matthew Richesin, a postgraduate student at the University of Tennessee, probably heard that one before too. So he figured he would see if having a “game face” really upped one’s game.
For the research, published in the journal Stress and Health, Richesin was inspired by shirts at his own school emblazoned with the words, “Get Your Game Face On.”
While Richesin noted previous psychology studies suggesting facial expressions have an impact on mood, there was scant evidence it gave people an actual performance boost.
