Review of Almost Everything You Wanted To Know About Tickling
[Following is a volunteer review of "Almost Everything You Wanted To Know About Tickling" by Duncan Taub.]
Almost Everything You Wanted to Know About Tickling by Duncan Taub was a delightful read of a scientific study. I found myself smiling as I read through the narrative of the study. It was easily the most enjoyable explanation of statistics that I’ve read in a long time. I would rate this book a five out of five, as it was an easy read filled with valuable information on tickling. The author acknowledges the potential for error in this book, as the research methods were not subject to a review board. I enjoyed the author’s commentary on how additional research is needed throughout the book. As long as the reader remembers that there is much more exploration to be done on this topic, I think this is an excellent start to investigating tickling. I’d recommend this book to individuals who are interested in scientific research in a casual way. Those who are also interested in tickling should read the book as well.
The author breaks down this book into a range of topics, from examining how ticklish women are to the role of tickling in romantic relationships. It also dives into deeper topics, such as questioning why tickling exists in the human race and how it has evolved over time. The study was conducted through several different research surveys, which included both quantitative and qualitative questions. By examining the data and conducting statistical analysis, the author examined several correlations between being ticklish and personality traits. As I mentioned above, the author did a great job making the narrative easy to read and explaining the methods used in simple terms. You don’t need to be an expert in research protocols or statistics to understand this story.
I thought the author did a great job of sharing the statistics intermixed with direct quotes from some of the study participants. I felt that mixing the two explained the research thoroughly and made me think deeper about how I feel about tickling. For example, there was a chapter dedicated to the role of tickling in adult-child bonding. This chapter made me think about how we use tickling in our own house as a way to play with our child. In addition, it was interesting to learn about how women across the globe perceive tickling and how often women are tickled. I’m intrigued by this report and hope someone takes the author’s suggestion to use this book as a springboard for future research. I was also impressed with the editing of this book. I found no errors as I was reading.
