RE: Psychology of Humor, physiology of laughter

[Sooyeon A. Suh]

I am actually doing a project on this, and the big names for humor and laughter are Rod Martin from the University of Western Ontario and … There are some good articles by Lefcourt and Kuiper. There is a meta-analysis in 2001 by Martin in Psychological Bulletin, vol 127 (4) that would be helpful. It is titled: Humor, Laughter, and Physical Health: Methodological Issues and Research Findings.   Hope this helps.   -----Original Message----- From: Robin Abrahams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 11:01 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences Subject: Re: Psychology of Humor, physiology of laughter   Robert Provine is, I believe, a big name in this. You might also do a search on laughter among animals, for a comparative perspective. And I must say I laughted when I read the name of your university. Are the Jesuits on rollerblades, skates, or are they wheeled around on dollies by graduate students?

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!
