Why Do We Laugh? - The Psychology of Laughter

Описание: In this video, we discuss the psychology behind laughter. We discuss what laughter is, and we delineate several different theories on why we laugh. As there is a lot to know about laughter, this video serves merely as an overview and introduction to those interested in learning about why we as humans engage in the behavior of laughter.

Disclaimer:
At the 5:58 mark, the screen says: "Laughter is neither necessary nor sufficient for laughter". This is supposed to say: "Feelings of superiority is neither necessary nor sufficient for laughter".

USE OF STOCK IMAGES AND VIDEOS
Occasionally we make use of stock images and videos (pixabay.com or pexels.com). We use these to make our videos more lively (better than looking at a blank screen). These stock videos should not be taken as an exact scientific reflection of the discussed content. In some cases they are not fully accurate. We try to have a high viewing pleasure, while at the same time create as little confusion as possible. Thus we aim to only use them when it is clear that they are not directly related to the discussed content.
