There is a recent, brief post at the Jaimie Abbott blog on November 10, 2025 titled The secret psychology behind why audiences clap (and how to earn it). Her four points are that:
1] Applause is connection made audible
2] The brain loves closure
3] Energy is contagious
4] People clap when they feel proud of you
And also:
“Applause isn’t something you demand. It’s something you deserve. It’s not about performance, it’s about presence. When you connect, complete, energize, and inspire pride, your audience can’t help but clap.”
An image of clapping hands came from here at Wikimedia Commons.
