我们测试了听众是否对笑声中存在或不存在发声（一种突出的、区别性的声学特征）有不同的反应。128名参与者根据五种不同的评级策略之一，对50个有声和20个无声的笑声进行两次评级。结果是高度一致的，无论参与者是否评价自己的情绪反应，其他人的可能反应，或三个感知属性之一的笑声，从而表明参与者在所有这些情况下都经历了类似的差异化情感反应。具体来说，声音，歌声般的笑声比无声的咕噜声，裤子和鼻涕样的声音更容易引起积极的反应。参与者也高度一致地不喜欢这些其他声音，特别是女性发出的声音。基于这些结果，我们认为，笑使用他们的发声的声学特征，以形状听者的影响。
We tested whether listeners are differentially responsive to the presence or absence of voicing, a salient, distinguishing acoustic feature, in laughter. Each of 128 participants rated 50 voiced and 20 unvoiced laughs twice according to one of the five different rating strategies. Results were highly consistent regardless of whether participants rated their own emotional responses, likely responses of other people, or one of three perceived attributes concerning the laughers, thus indicating that participants were experiencing similarly differentiated affective responses in all these cases. Specifically, voices, songlike laughs were significantly more likely to elicit positive responses than were variants such as unvoiced grunts, pants, and snortlike sounds. Participants were also highly consistent in their relative dislike of these other sounds, especially those produced by females. Based on these results, we argue that laughers use the acoustic features of their vocalizations to shape listener affect.
