笑疗法探究：起源、发展与对比

Exploring Laughter Therapy: Origins, Development, and Comparisons

摘要: 随着现代社会对心理健康重视程度的提升，非药物干预方法如笑声疗法、幽默疗法和笑瑜伽越来越受到关注。这些方法在国外已被广泛应用于多种疾病和人群中，并显示出提升认知功能、减少疼痛和孤独感、提高生活满意度和心理健康水平的效果。然而，国内研究在样本量、研究时间和方法上较为有限，且受到文化差异的影响，缺乏标准化评估和多样性。本研究旨在系统探讨三种疗法的起源、核心概念、理论基础、作用机制以及具体干预方法和结局指标。在分析相关文献的基础上，总结当前研究现状，比较其异同，并对其在我国文化背景下的适用性提出建议。本研究不仅有助于深入理解三种疗法的特点与差异，还为未来针对我国患者开展相关干预研究提供理论支持和实践参考。

Abstract: With the increasing emphasis on mental health in modern society, non-pharmacological interventions such as laughter therapy, humor therapy, and laughter yoga have garnered growing attention. These approaches have been widely applied to various diseases and populations abroad, demonstrating their effectiveness in improving cognitive function, reducing pain and feelings of loneliness, and enhancing life satisfaction and mental health. However, domestic research is relatively limited in terms of sample size, study duration, and methodology, and is influenced by cultural differences, lacking standardized assessments and diversity. This study aims to systematically explore the origins, core concepts, theoretical foundations, mechanisms of action, specific intervention methods, and outcome measures of the three therapies. Based on an analysis of relevant literature, this study summarizes the current state of research, compares the similarities and differences among the three therapies, and provides recommendations for their applicability within the Chinese cultural context. This research not only contributes to a deeper understanding of the characteristics and distinctions of the three therapies but also offers theoretical support and practical references for future intervention studies targeting patients in China.
