21、BOpposite the Visitors Centre.CAt Windsor Street.DNear the Coffee House.BIn these gloomy(沮丧的), uncertain times, the ability to have a good laughespecially at your own expensemay be essential for survival. But are people really capable of having a sense of humor about themselves?In the firstever stud
22、y of its kind, Ursula Beermann of the University of California, Berkeley, and Willibald Ruch of the University of Zurich studied 70 psychology students to gauge(测量) their ability to laugh at themselves. The findings support what has long been believed:that being able to laugh at oneself is not only
23、a distinct trait, but is also linked with having an optimistic personality and good mood and may be the foundation for a good sense of humor.Participants in the study were asked to rate their ability to see the humor in their own plight. They also designated one or two friends to rate them on the sa
24、me characteristic.While the students were filling out these questionnaires on a puter, its camera surreptitiously photographed their faces. The pictures were then altered using Mac Photo Booth software to make them look like distorted, fun housemirror(哈哈镜) images.Afterward, the study participants we
25、re asked to rate irregular photos of people they didnt know. Their own stretchedout images were randomly inserted into the sequenceand thats where the experiment really started. Participants were videotaped as they viewed the images to see whether they laughed or smiled at themselves. The videos wer
26、e analyzed, using a wellstudied rating system of emotional expression, to see how genuine the participants expressions of humor were.Eighty percent of participants genuinely smiled or laughed at least once when seeing their own silly image. However, those who claimed to have the ability to laugh at
27、themselvesand whose friends assessments matched their owngenuinely laughed and smiled more often and more intensely than the others.Interestingly, however, peoples sense of their own ability to laugh at themselves was only somewhat related with their friends ratings, suggesting that people either th
28、ink theyre better at it than they actually are or that they want to present themselves this way.The study found that peoples ability to laugh at themselves had no bearing on how much they laughed or smiled in response to the distorted images of othersthat suggests that the phenomenon is a distinct c
29、haracteristic, one linked with your own mood and personality, rather than the tendency to simply find silly images funny. The finding also emphasizes the link between humor and cautiousness.Participants who were able to laugh at themselves more also tended to be more cheerful and less serious overall, and were in better moods on the day of the experiment, the study found.Although stu
