<p>To be honest, this is a bad sentence. </p>

<p>You could short to “微笑是个*****情绪". It doesn't make sense. </p>

<p>And what @TangHo added make the whole logic right. </p>

<p>Or we could break this sentence down into 2 sentence:
"The emotion that make people smile"
"And this emotional is .............." -Definition of this emotion</p>

<p>Take away the descriptive elements and it says:</p>

<p>微笑是情绪。 （A) smile is (a) mood. </p>

<p>Maybe if they said: ‘一个微笑表示着一种真实的、热诚的、发自内心的快乐的情绪。’ Would that be acceptable??</p>

<p>A smile is an expression of a mood, but not a mood in itself. I have to think of these lines from a song: 'I smile when I'm angry, I cheat and I lie, I do what I have to do to get by.'</p>

A smile is an expression of a mood, but not a mood in itself. I have to think of these lines from a song: 'I smile when I'm angry, I cheat and I lie, I do what I have to do to get by.'

Am I missing some meaning here?

You are correct, "微笑" (smile) is an "expression" (**表情**) not a "mood"(情绪)

"happy" (愉快/快乐) is a mood.

* 一个微笑 (A smile)
* 代表 (represents)
* 一个愉快的心情 (a happy mood)

> "微笑是一种真实的、热诚的、发自内心的快乐的情绪。"

should be

"微笑(**代表着**)一种真实、热诚、发自内心的快乐情绪。"

(you can omit most of the '的' to make it less wordy)

To be honest, this is a bad sentence.

You could short to “微笑是个\*\*\*\*\*情绪". It doesn't make sense.

And what @username_1 added make the whole logic right.

Or we could break this sentence down into 2 sentence:
"The emotion that make people smile"
"And this emotional is .............." -Definition of this emotion
