Laughter is a very important component of our life, so
important that's been built around an industry. From clowns to stand-up
comedians in each period there have been people who have made a
profession of making others laugh. Scientists tried to discover what comics
they were accessible without much effort, through their talent, what makes
people laugh? Some of their comments waiting patiently to be read in the
following lines.
1. Researchers
concluded that the first laughter appears at age 3 ½ - 4 months, ie long before
knowing how to talk. Like crying, laughter is a preverbal form of interaction
between child and parent or caregiver's.
2. At the age of
5 and 6 years is observed most exuberant laughter. Spelling or grammar
mistakes, small errors of logic or chasing around the house can cause episodes
of laughter that the same events will not generate pre-adolescents and
adolescents.
3. Childbearing
uncertainty, adolescents are more likely to laugh at jokes labeled aggressive
or sexual notes or refer to authority figures. Some psychologists consider this
type of event as an attempt to gain and maintain control. For example, a
teenager who, in the midst of a group of friends, laugh at a joke about
abortion can try to mask the secondment, to others or to himself, lack of
resolute position regarding this issue.
4. The average
adult laughs 17 times a day, or about six minutes a day. Instead, a child laugh
300 to 400 times per day.
5. People laugh
when they feel safe, they feel comfortable in the presence of another, when
they are open and free to express. Therefore, anthropologist Mahadev Apte
highlights the role of social connection that laughter plays in human
relationships. He says that laughter is contagious because it appeared in a
social bonds tends to solidify that connection.
6. Laughter can
be a tool that ensures that individuals are not excluded from a social group.
This theory is supported by results of studies showing that individuals with a
dominant social position (boss, head of the family, group leader) use more
humor than subordinate individuals.
7. Robert Provine
said that we use laughter to change the behavior of others. For example, in a
situation where we feel uncomfortable or threatened, laughter can serve as a
gesture of conciliation or as a way to combat the wrath of the other. If the
person to feel threatened us laugh with us, the risk of a confrontation between
us and that person decreases.
8. Some
scientists believe that laughing caused by tickling is an innate reflex. If
this is true, in theory we should be able to tickle yourself. However, we can
not, even if we tickle the same place and in the same way that we would cause
laughter if we would tickle anyone. Although the information transmitted to the
brain is the same in both cases, it seems that tickling does not occur only
when the brain is in tension or surprised, states missing when a man tickles
one. How the human brain uses this information about tension and surprise is
still a mystery to scientists.
9. Contrary
psychologists say that laughter is a learned behavior, Steve Wilson, American
psychologist
10. Though most
of us believe that the ultimate purpose of laughter is to let others know that
you think something funny, according to one article in the Quarterly Review of
Biology, it is likely that the primary function of laughter is not
self-expression. Instead, the purpose of laughter would be to arouse positive
feelings in others.
