Humour & Playfulness - Dr Adrienne Wood

To be able to laugh is a great gift. All human beings laugh, and we are most likely to do it in the presence of others.  So what is the purpose of laughter?

Dr Adrienne Wood leads the Emotion & Behavior Lab at the University of Virginia. Together with a team of researchers, Dr Wood explores this question, as well as other questions about the benefits of laughter and how laughter influences our relationships.
