Smiling is a gesture that many people engage in dozens of times a day without thought. Most people believe that smiling is an expression of good feelings, a simple way to show happiness and friendliness. But does this hold true across time and cultures? 31 In the West, for example, portraits of men and women before the 1700s typically depicted them with a serious, unsmiling expression. The absence of smiles stemmed partly from the attempt to hide their decayed teeth caused by poor dental hygiene. More importantly, smiling and laughter had long been perceived in the society as manifestations of a lack of self-control and good manners. Paintings with white-toothed smiles emerged after the 1700s, with the gradual rise of a culture that valued perception and responsiveness. Recent studies also show that interpretations of smiling may vary from culture to culture. While in most cultures smiling is associated with positive emotions, in certain cultures the same person can be judged as less intelligent when smiling. 32 The amount people smile is culturally influenced as well. People smile more when they are from countries that are high in individualism and low in population. These are often places where the needs and rights of the individual take precedence over those of the group. 33 Newcomers from different parts of the world are found to smile more. Without a shared language, they often resort to smiling to get along with others. For them, smiling is a straightforward way to indicate that one is reliable and trustworthy. 34 As many psychologists now point out, this simple gesture is in fact far more complicated than it may appear.

這是一道測驗「歸納性結論」的邏輯銜接題。請分析前三段分別從歷史背景、文化知覺以及社會結構（如移民背景）等維度來探討微笑，這些內容在論述邏輯上屬於多重變因；若要銜接末段提到的「微笑其實比表面看來更複雜」，哪一個概念能將前述分散的案例進行高度概括，並建立起從「具體成因分析」到「抽象總結」的邏輯橋樑？
