This brings into question the definition of humour, then. If it is to be defined by the cognitive processes which display laughter, then humour itself can encompass a variety of negative as well as positive emotions. However, if humour is limited to positive emotions and things which cause positive affect, it must be delimited from laughter and their relationship should be further defined.

Myth
'''There is a myth that children laugh an average of 300 times a day and adults laugh less than 20 times a day. A handful of studies regarding these statistics prove that there is not a big difference between children and adults showing different rates of laughter. Humans laugh primarily when interacting with others. Therefore, the laughter rate relies on the time of interaction of an individual with others.'''

Gender Relations
'''There is a stereotype of women being ‘unfunny sex.’ According to the research, there is no relationship between gender and humor. Women being ‘unfunny sex’ relates to gender role expectations and gender stereotypes.'''
