Abstract

Summary In a test of the discrepancy hypothesis of humor, Ss compared 11 comparison weights to a 90 gram standard. The 12th and 13th comparison weights were identical with, much lighter than, or heavier than the standard. More smile and laugh responses were made to the latter weights, and the number of these responses declined during the second presentation of those weights. The results supported the discrepancy hypothesis.
