  • @AmbiCahira
    @AmbiCahira 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    My personal theory (based on what I know about animals) is that the laughter and big smile is related to submission. When we are tickled we end up on our back a lot of the times and the game isn't over until you stop fighting it, and like all animals and like you mentioned; play originally is for survival preparation so not only do we learn about weaknesses, how to win, and how to self protect but it is also a very safe way to know a hierarchy of who in your age group is stronger than you. The submissive smile occurs in so many animals, including some dogs but especially in monkeys so I think the smiling might be submission related. So many group living animals have harmless games as young that trains them as hunters and as fighters seriously one day like wrestling and playing chase etc and I think this is why tickle fights often has a chase component to it that when we play chase we often as the hunter start to tickle the prey when we catch them. Hunt, overpower, strike, don't stop until you win. The laugh could potentially also besides submission be to signal that we aren't rough handed enough to hurt the prey person but also to train the hunter where to strike - it might be of benefit of the "training" more than the social aspect. It does strengthen bond too though, probably due to chemical reactions that you mentioned so it could be for better teamwork and fair play and knowing strengths and weaknesses in eachother too, like who runs fast, who is sneaky, strong, etc. If kids play tickle fights often they usually have pretty good teamwork, at least that was the case with the kids I grew up with. I was the most tight knit with the ones I tickle fought the most with and eventually we started to team up and play teams or gang up 2 hunters on 1 prey.

    The social aspect makes perfect sense when you consider that the response is laughter only when you're tickled by someone close to you. If you're tickled by a stranger, your response is generally fear or anger. Also, laughter sometimes serves as a self-comforting behavior.
