The psychology of humor: an integrative approach (Second edition.)

Most of us laugh at something funny multiple times during a typical day.

Humour serves multiple purposes, and although there is a sizable and expanding research literature on the subject, the research is spread in a variety of disciplines. 'The Psychology of Humor' reviews the literature, integrating research from across subdisciplines in psychology, as well as related fields such as anthropology, biology, computer science, linguistics, sociology, and more.
