Julie: I'd definitely have a look at Provine's (University of Maryland) writings on laughter, which students always find fascinating. They are summarized in a relatively recent book and (if I recall correctly) a nice American Scientist article that appeared a few years ago.

Subject: Psychology of Humor, physiology of laughter


Hello fellow TIPS-ters,

I have been volunteered to give a talk on the psychology of humor (about
which I know next to nothing) and also the physiology of laughter (about
which I know nothing) in 2 weeks time, and I need help.

Can any of you direct me toward helpful resources on this subject or share
any material you have used? I am out of my depth here.

Thank you!
