LAUGHTER AS SOCIAL LUBRICANT 20 After some final questions about the experiment (including some manipulation checks), the participants were debriefed by one experimenter while the other calculated the amount each individual had earned and paid it out to them. Manipulation Checks Results We asked participants the question: “How funny did you find the clip?” (1 = not funny at all, 5 = very funny). This was analyzed with a 2 (Sex) x 2 (Clip) x 2 (Grouping) design. This analysis only revealed a significant main effect for clip, F(1, 72) = 44.63, p
LAUGHTER AS SOCIAL LUBRICANT 21 Taken together, it seems that the laughter manipulation was successfully induced. The comedy clip was considered funnier and produced considerably more laughter than the neutral clip. Group Cooperation The main dependent variable was the contribution to the group fund (0 - 5 GBP) in the public good game. We analyzed this using a 2 (Sex) x 2 (Clip) x 2 (Grouping) design. Recall that we expected group contributions to increase after watching the comedy clip, particularly among groups of strangers. We found two main effects, for clip, F(1, 72) = 10.52, p
