Recently, researchers in the US have
carried out a study on laughing, one of the most natural characteristics of
human behavior.
Jo-Anne Bachorowsky, a psychology professor
at Vandebilt University, 36 a team of researchers who
37 a total of 11 short videos to 97 young adult
volunteers in the US. They found that the participants produced a
38 of sounds when they laughed, 39 grunts(呼噜声) and snorts(哼声).
The researchers found that some of the 40
were dependent 41 gender(性别). Men laughed with grunts and
snorts more often than women, 42 women’s 43
was more song-like.
They also found that people’s laughter
could change, 44 who they were with at the time.
Whether they were with a man or a woman and 45 person
was a friend or a 46 both played a part in
laughter.
The researchers found that women’s laughter
was very high with a 47 pitch(音高) when they were with male
strangers. And women taking 48 in the study laughed
more often when they were with a male friend than when they were with
a(n) 49 friend or a male stranger. But men laughed more
freely with friends of either sex than with strangers of either sex.
