Eine kleine Studie (n=82, zwei Drittel Frauen) kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass Menschen durchschnittlich 2,5 Mal am Tag „aus dem Bauch lachen“ und etwa alle vier Tage einen „Lachanfall“ verspüren.

“As expected, during a belly laugh, participants’ happiness was 8.6 points higher on the [100-point scale] … and a fit of laughter even raised happiness by 12.9 points”
And I am here sittin thinkin why “crode” isn’t the past tense of “cried”
I’ll put it on my schedule.
Looks like I am overdue
> Participants were on average 29.2 years old (SD = 12.61, range 18–74 years) and predominantly women (67.3%; the remainder identified as men).
> Participants were mostly university/college students recruited by us.
In their sleep? Who belly laughs even daily??
Who laughs these days? Can’t remember the last person I saw laugh.
Now do this study on minimum wage employees
Those are rookie numbers.
They recruit for this study outside of a clown college or something?
my life would be much better if this was true for me…
TIL people don’t take hallucinogens. A fit of laughter with every trip, although sometimes accompanied by some harsh and dramatic reflection.
I listen to a lot of comedy podcasts because I drive a metric shitton for work, I’ll typically get some good laughs in.
n=82, is that even close to being significant? What’s the point in posting this?
Damn, didn’t think I was dragging down the average that much.
‘people’ = ‘ mostly college students’. Fondly remembering the halcyon days as a college student.
Huh…come to think of it, I honestly can’t remember the last time I legitimately laughed.
n=82? This is not a small scientific study. Thats a book club survey.
Nope.
I couldn’t find my roomba anywhere the other day. eventually I found it inside the tiny tent for cats I have. I laughed so hard.
