Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Previous studies have explored that laughter emitted by the other audience members influences the subjective humor experience of an audience member. These finding were gained by rough observations in the theater and laboratory experiments. Thus, particular pattern of audience responses through interactions among audience is currently unclear. In this study, the authors assume a performer-audience system composed by a performer and multiple audience members. Regarding this system, a model that includes the influence of surrounding audience members was constructed. The results demonstrated that the patterns of audiences' responses change in accordance with the sphere of influences by the surrounding audience. In the future research, it is necessary to set realistic parameters.
