In this chapter, we begin by using the mutual vulnerability theory as a guide to address three additional important topics. It will help clarify why our laughter is sometimes misinterpreted, particularly when the laughter meant to be supporting and sympathetic is wrongly assumed to be ridiculing and disdainful. For some individuals, misreading intentions in this manner is so pervasive as to be debilitating and they are said to have a condition called gelotophobia, an excessive fear of laughter. A second area we delve into relates to fostering laugher skills. We suggest this may be more problematic than one might suspect, but nevertheless provide some guidance concerning the tickling of young children and the importance of establishing a foundation of trust before play activities. We follow up with a recommendation concerning one possible strategy for countering bullying behavior. Finally, we advance some ideas about what our laughter and humor say about us, both as individuals and as members of the larger human family. Our constant drive for increased status often seems at odds with an equally potent desire for equality, so much so the tension infiltrates nearly every aspect of our lives.
