Topics
Malcolm Gladwell认为喜剧演员比其他职业更能洞察人性,因为他们需要理解什么能让人发笑,什么又会让人感到不舒服,这需要对观众的即时反应有深刻的洞察力。他认为喜剧演员是心理学大师。 Adam Grant不同意Gladwell的观点,他认为教师比喜剧演员更能洞察人性。教师在真实环境中与学生和家长互动,面对的是无限多样的情况和各种各样的人,这比喜剧演员在受控环境中表演要难得多。喜剧演员的表演环境是精心设计的,观众的预期也是明确的,这使得喜剧演员更容易驾驭社交场合。 Adam Grant认为教一年级的学生比进行脱口秀表演难得多,因为学生和家长的行为变化莫测,而喜剧演员的表演环境相对可控,他们可以反复练习,并通过控制环境来获得成功。他认为喜剧演员的成功并不一定需要对人性的深刻洞察。 Malcolm Gladwell反驳说,喜剧演员也需要大量的练习,但他们的观众和环境变化很大。他认为,即使在可控的环境中,喜剧演员也需要对人性的深刻理解,才能获得成功。
