Infant smiles elicit feelings of sympathetic engagement from researchers as well as parents. Early social smiles appear to be direct behavioral expressions of positive emotional engagement. This apparent link between behavior and meaning lies behind a century of research on the causes, emotional significance, behavioral correlates, and developmental consequences of infant smiles. In this chapter, we review that literature with a critical eye, focusing on the emergence and early development of social smiling, the possibility that different types of smiles index different types of positive emotion and new evidence that smiles index a single dimension of positive emotion, the interactive development of different types of smiling and the origins of emotion regulation, the integration of smiling into referential communication, and the use of smiles to distinguish between infants and predict outcomes. The review covers the results of studies of infant perception, infant smile production, observers’ ratings of those smiles, and the smiling of nonhuman primates. We begin with a theoretical overview, review the neurophysiology of smiling, and examine the heritability of smiling and lessons from the smiling of blind infants. Throughout, our intent is to present new findings and highlight areas of potential investigation.
