Can Emotion be Conditioned?

Hi,
In Pavlov's Dogs:
(1)Bell ----->Food---->Salivating
(2)Bell ----> Salivating

Do you think the following is possible?
(1) Pinch your hand ----> comic movie---->laughing
(2) Pinch your hand ---->laughing

During a comic movie, when anything makes me laugh, I pinch my hand myself. Would it be possible to trigger such an emotion by pinching my hand anytime later?

I think theoretically it seems that may work, but practically it might be difficult. But why is it difficult to reach the outcome? I guess the stimulus is not strong enough.

Thanks!

I've wondered if emotion lacks value, if its condition is the same. I now just accept emotion whenever it exists

@Thomas33,
I had a cat that liked to lie on my lap while I was listening to music. I would whistle along with Mahler while petting the cat. She got so conditioned that anytime she heard me whistling she would go into various states of ecstasy.

@iclearwater,
Watch 'Dandipani, The Energy Alchemist' on ytube.
He'll explain it, better than I.
Yes - All emotion is controllable - Thus Conditionable.
