Description

Explore the psychology of humor and laughter through this comprehensive academic text from Routledge. This book examines how humor plays a vital part in our everyday social encounters, providing a deep look into the mechanisms behind why we laugh and how we perceive humor in various settings. Written by leading professional researchers, the text reviews major theoretical perspectives and brings together the main empirical work conducted throughout the century. Peter Berks provides an updated perspective, bringing the study of humor up to the present moment. The content is organized into two major parts. The first section focuses on the perception of and responses to humor, while the second part explores its uses in society at large. This makes it a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in the psychological and social functions of laughter and humor.
