In this study, we replicated the effect of canned laughter on the viewer’s affective and cognitive humor appreciation, and this is the first research about the effect of canned laughter in Japan. We hypothesized that only those with high public self-consciousness (PuSC) are influenced cognitively, but not necessarily affectively by canned laughter. In a laboratory experiment, 81 undergraduates watched a non-humorous comedy video clips presented either with/ without canned laughter, and then rated how humorous it was, along with how much they felt it to be humorous. Both high and low PuSC participants evaluated the comedy with canned laughter as being more humorous, and derived more humor than without canned laughter. Both groups also actually did laugh along with canned laughter. These results suggest that the effect of canned laughter as a form of conformity do not emerge under the given conditions.}, pages = {77--86}, title = {「録音の笑い」の影響と公的自意識との関係 : 退屈なコメディ映像を用いた検討}, volume = {64}, year = {2017} }
