Dominance hierarchy: Difference between revisions

Laughing simultaneously seems to act as a signal of acknowledging someone's status, perhaps with a subconscious intention to attain access to resources by maintaining a good relationship with the high status individual. For example, people more often laugh about jokes told by a more attractive man<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Attractive_men_are_perceived_as_.27funnier.27.2C_even_when_they_are_actually_not</ref> and attractiveness is moderately related to status.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#A_man.27s_looks_are_significantly_correlated_with_his_popularity_and_peer_status</ref> Also there are different types of laugh archetypes which influence the laugher's perceived dominance, rank, and personality. For example there is the hearty laugh, which is excessively low in pitch, and perceived as incredibly dominant. As well as the evil laugh which is also perceived as incredibly dominant, but of ambiguous social status, which is unnerving.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_laughter</ref>There are likely hundreds of other less commonly used, or unknown laugh archetypes. Most people tend to laugh like each other, to maintain the status quo within a group.
