Grumpy People Get the Details Right Research by Kate Harkness from Queens University shows that people prone to depressed moods also tend to notice more details. This is particularly true when it comes to facial expressions. Happy-go-lucky individuals take in the broad strokes — okay, you have a nose and some eyes and it looks like your eyebrows are raised. The less upbeat folks in the Harkness studies, by contrast, were eagle-eyed when it came to facial expression, attuned to the smallest quiver of a lip or the slightest narrowing of the eyes. This is why — and youve probably noticed this — when you are in a fight with your romantic partner, you read even the tiniest changes in their demeanor, things youd never notice when you were in a good mood.
