Humor and laughter
"Humor and laughter play a vital part in our everyday social encounters. This book is concerned with the exploration of the psychology of humor and laughter by the foremost professional researchers in these areas. It examines the major theoretical perspectives underlying current approaches and it draws together for the first time the main empirical work done over the course of this century. Peter Berks brings this story up to the moment. The two …

Eye Contact, Physical Proximity and Laughter
Independent groups of 7-year-old subjects listened to humor on headphones, either with a nonlistening companion (audience) or with a companion who also listened (coactor), and at one of two interpersonal distances. In coaction sessions, children sitting closer engaged in more eye contact, laughter and smiling. The direct relationship between them and other intimacy signals is unequivocal evidence against Argyle and Dean's (1965) equilibrium model…
Humorous laughter in children
This experiment examines the notion that the sharing of humor enhances overt expressive responses (laughter and smiling) and humor ratings. Independent groups of seven- to eight-year-old children listened on headphones to amusing material. They were tested alone or in dyads or triads with confederates of the same sex. In triads, duration of laughter and smiling was inversely related to the amount that confederates looked at one another; this was …
An Experimental Study of Socially Facilitated ‘Humorous Laughter’
Independent groups of 7-yr.-old children listened through headphones to humorous material in dyadic conditions and when alone. Members of a dyad were of like-sex. Ss' companions were trained confederates who reacted according to pre-recorded on-line directions received through headphones. Increments in the companion's mirth augmented Ss' laughter, smiling and looking at the companion's face. The companion's facilitative influences were not reduce…
An Electromyographic Study of Social Facilitation
Integrated muscle action potentials were recorded from frontalis muscles as subjects listened to a tape‐recorded story through headphones. Subjects were tested once only in alone, audience or concealed‐audience situations after a period of relaxation. The three experimental groups contained equal numbers of men and women and were matched for EMG resting levels and EMG gradients obtained in previous experimental sessions. It was found that levels …
An Electromyographic Study of Apprehension about Evaluation
Frontalis muscle tension was recorded from two groups of 10 Ss as they listened to a humorous recording in the presence of E. One group listened privately on headphones and the other listened to an external speaker, while E appeared to be inattentive in both conditions. The groups were matched on the basis of Ss' EMG resting levels and EMG gradients in previous sessions. Ss who listened privately experienced less apprehension over evaluation and …
Funniness of Jokes, Canned Laughter and Recall Performance
Two groups of thirty subjects, each composed of fifteen men and fifteen women, were presented with ten tape-recorded jokes with or without a canned laughter background. They were tested individually and rated jokes for humor and intellectual appreciation. The experimenter rated their overt mirth responses. It was found that while canned laughter generated more mirth, it did not significantly affect humor-ratings or intellectual appreciation ratin…
