项目摘要

Emotional laughter is highly relevant for social interaction, especially for social communication in human beings or animals. We verified the practical effectiveness of the "laughter" or "positive emotion" as coping to environmental stresses that cause serious and negative impacts on the daily lives. We conducted two different approaches of occupational stress workshop to evoke the positive emotion toward bank clerks or healthcare professionals, both of them are recognized to feel relatively high levels of occupational stress. One approach was a self-physical exercising to provoke laughter including the facial strained muscle stretch and breathing. The other was half-constructed encounter group to develop interpersonal relationships with the social laughter or smiling by building empathy with others. In this study, we found that both different approaches to evoke the positive emotions exhibited effectively to reduce the mental and physiological distresses of participants. In the animal model for studying the environmental stress, post-weaning social isolation of rodents considerably alters fear and anxiety behaviors and changes neuroendocrine functions. In the current study, we observed that the tickling treatment, which mimics tumble-and-play manner, could reduce restraint stress-induced reactions and modulate fear-related behavior of isolated adolescent rats.

情绪化的笑与社会互动密切相关，特别是人类或动物的社会交流。我们验证了“笑”或“积极情绪”作为应对对日常生活造成严重负面影响的环境压力的实际有效性。本研究采用两种不同的职业压力工作坊方法，以唤起被试对银行职员和医护人员的积极情绪，这两类人都被认为是感受到较高的职业压力的。一种方法是自我身体锻炼，包括面部紧张的肌肉伸展和呼吸，以引起笑声。另一种是半建构的相遇小组，通过与他人建立共情，在社会性的笑声或微笑中发展人际关系。在本研究中，我们发现，这两种不同的方法来唤起积极的情绪表现出有效地减少参与者的心理和生理痛苦。在研究环境应激的动物模型中，断奶后啮齿动物的社会隔离显著改变了其恐惧和焦虑行为，并改变了神经内分泌功能。在本研究中，我们观察到，挠痒痒的处理，模仿翻滚和游戏的方式，可以减少约束应激诱导的反应和调节恐惧相关的行为的隔离的青春期大鼠。
