Candice Lambert on how humour strengthens relationships
While speaking to Briefly News, psychologist Candice Lambert, expressed how humour and playful exchanges can strengthen relationships and emotional bonds by saying:
"More recent meta-analyses of brain imaging studies show that when people process something humorous (as opposed to neutral material), certain regions light up — especially in the frontal cortex, temporal lobes, and reward circuits (including parts of the striatum). (ScienceDirect)."
She added:
"Because humour involves both cognition and emotion, it can reset negative feelings, offer relief, and redirect attention. Some researchers even suggest that laughter evolved as a social signal — to mark safety, strengthen bonds, and ease group tension."
She ended off by saying that humour isn’t just being silly. "It’s a deeply wired human process involving thought, feeling, reward, and social connection."
