📖 題組：
There are many scientific studies on innate versus culture-specific expressions of emotion. Researchers found more support for facial expressions as innate, universal indicators of particular emotions. For instance, Charles Darwin's evidence for universality was the answers to several questions he sent to many Englishmen living in different parts of the world. They wrote that they saw the same expressions of emotion in these foreign countries as they had known in England, leading Darwin to say: "...the same state of mind is expressed throughout the world with remarkable uniformity..." Echoing Darwin's claims, Paul Ekman conducted a cross-cultural study on facial expressions and emotions. In his study, Paul Ekman took photographs of people showing different emotions. He then asked people in various cultures to indicate what emotions were being described in the photographs. Those participants ranged from European university students to the Fore people, a tribe that lives in Papua New Guinea and had almost no contact with Western culture. Ekman found a high agreement across members of different Western and Eastern cultures, including the Fore, on selecting emotional labels that fit facial expressions. Researchers generally agree that facial expressions reflect emotional states. The facial-feedback hypothesis argues, however, that the movement of our facial muscles can trigger corresponding emotions. For instance, causing an individual in experiments to smile during a social event will lead the participants to report more positive feelings and actually come to find the event more of an enjoyable experience.

請觀察第二段的結構：作者提到研究者找了哪些不同背景的人進行實驗？在實驗的結尾，這些背景完全不同的人展現出了什麼樣的「共同特徵」？這個共同點是想證明人類的表情是受「文化後天影響」，還是有一種「跨越國界的共通規律」？
