Psychology of laughter


Laughter is the language that we all know and the easiest way to communicate. Laugh is very usual to us, so we don’t even think about it’s meaning. However, laughter plays a huge role in our lives
One of the main function of laughter is communication. For example laugh is 30 times frequent in social than in solitary situations. We all can notice that usually we laugh when we are with other people and being alone we only smile. In that case laughter can be understood like a signal sent to other person.
Another theory of laughter was made by Sigmund Freud. It is called relief theory. Laughter, according to him, releases tension and physic energy. So that, laughter helps to cope with bad emotions when we are sad, angry or scared.
Finally, laughter can be divided to two different groups - laughter which is stimulus-driven and laughter which is self-generated. Another separation is to voiced and unvoiced laughter. All in all, laugh is something that is individual, not the same.
Communication is not the only function of laughter. It is said that laugh can be as useful as medicine. According to many scientists, laugh can reduce stress, pain. Also it gives more oxygen to the brain and heart. Moreover, it improves job performances, because laugh „wakes up” creativity and allows solving problems faster. Laugh also is very useful for diabetics, because it reduces sugar level in blood.
In conclusion, laugher is more important than we think. It can help to cope with bad emotions and reduce stress. Also, laughter is one of the most important means of communication.
