Laughter Triggers

Laughter Triggers explores the multifaceted science of laughter, moving beyond simple humor to examine the complex interplay of social context, cognitive triggers, and emotional states that elicit this universal human response. The book argues that laughter is more than just a reflex; it's a crucial element in social bonding and communication, influencing workplace dynamics and interpersonal relationships. Did you know that laughter can actually reinforce social norms and strengthen relationships? Or that even negative emotions like anxiety can manifest as laughter? The book begins by establishing the historical and social context of laughter, then progresses through three key sections: social laughter, cognitive incongruity, and emotional contagion. Drawing on observational studies, experimental research, and cross-cultural data, it provides a holistic understanding of laughter by integrating insights from psychology, sociology, and communication studies. It uniquely examines factors beyond humor that trigger laughter and offers practical applications for improving communication and managing stress.
