Results: women laugh twice as much when they are speaker in male-female conversation, when women are listener, they laugh more than men also. Men more likely to interrupt, less likely to ask help b/c they feel incompetent, reduction in authority. Social interaction: involves communication among people acting and reacting to one another, either face to face or via computer, it is structured around norms, roles and statuses. Status: higher status (men) get more laughs than lower status (women) Role: expected behaviours, when you occupy status you perform role. Norm: generally expected way of doing things (e. g. class clown being punished for distraction) Scholars believe emotion like common cold, just happen and are involuntary reaction.
