A theoretical perspective on the psychology of humor and laughter was presented. Concerning the direction of study, the author emphasized the need of comprehensive frame, wich connect the bodily and mental processes. Although the comprehensive frame for humor and laughter studies will be provided by the emotion theory, today's state of emotion psychology is far behind that. As such is the situation, the author sketched the interactional model of emotion in which bodily processes and mental processes are connected. as a tentative platform for humor and laughter studies.Finally humor model provided by reversal theory was critically examined as a today's most comprehensive theory of humor.
