Before I studied psychology, I ud to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.
I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason tho people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crosd streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny; it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at tho pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both becau of the funny joke and becau of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.
The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factor
s, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend em stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.
In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone el laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.
21. What did the author find out after studying psychology?
A. Only good jokes make people laugh. B. Laughter can make people healthy.
C. Funny things can make people laugh. D. Many factors lead to people laughing.
