- My study is on laughter, which is a complex part of speech with endless functions in human interaction. We are still in the process of trying to better understand its multiple purposes and responses, Psychology is a field which examines the human social realm in ways that are new and revealing. Laughter is something everyone does, and it is so natural that often people don’t realize when they express it. “ Sorry I was late, huh huh” this study strives to examine these laughs in the most intimate of social bonds: couples. So we looked at the number of laughs across different conversation topics to see if there was a relationship between the number of laughs a person did and their levels of positive emotions.
- So what are positive emotions? Broaden and build, reduce stress, state of relaxation, community outreach, transcend self and personal desires
- Health- less cortisol, less stress, likely to live longer, less likely to have cardiac disease Families/spouses- secure attachment styles, less likely to divorce, empathy Happy communities- Better workers- broaden-and-build theory
- Laughter is not a good predictor of positive self emotions when taken within a context. Context matters! We cannot generalize laughter, because it is a unique form of social communication with numerous properties and functions.
