It’s (More Than) Personal
In the present study, we examined the role of comic styles in mediating the relationship between personality traits and the use of verbal irony/sarcasm. We tested a group of 848 participants from the UK, Canada, and the USA with the Comic Style Markers (CSM) and the Sarcasm Self-Report Scale (SSS). We found that comic styles significantly influence how personality traits such as neuroticism, agreeableness, and openness to experience/intellect aff…
Self-reported irony and psychosocial factors
The current study examines individual differences in self-reported irony use in a sample of 151 young adult females in Poland ( M age = 22.19; SD = 2.17). In addition to self-reported irony use (via the Irony Self-Report Scale, a Polish translation of the Sarcasm Self-Report Scale, SSS, Ivanko et al. 2004 ), we analyzed Big Five personality traits ( Ten-Item Personality Inventory , Gosling et al. 2003 ), humor styles ( The Humor Styles Questionna…
Intentional bilingualism does not hinder morphosyntactic development in L1
Background: Intentional bilingualism (IB) refers to caregivers’ deliberate, planned introduction of an additional language at home—beyond what community exposure alone would provide—and is characterized by caregivers’ use of their non-native language with the child. While scholarly debate continues about whether IB affects first-language (L1) outcomes, evidence on morphosyntax specifically remains limited. Therefore, we examined L1 morphosyntax u…
Differences in sentence repetition tasks in studies on bilingual children’s language development
Aims and Objectives: Sentence repetition (SRep) tasks are a popular, valid, and cost-effective method of measuring language development. However, their heterogeneity and flexibility of use and adaptation may impact the obtained results. This may be particularly significant when using SRep tasks to identify language problems in children. Methodology: To bring attention to this issue, we carried out a systematic review of English-language studies u…
Psychometric adaptation of the Comic Style Markers in a Polish sample
We attempted a psychometric validation of a Polish-language version of the Comic Style Markers questionnaire (CSM). A sample of 1785 adult Polish participants completed a Polish translation of the CSM (CSM-PL), the HSQ, and the IPIP-BFM-20. A self-other correlation analysis was carried out on 116 Polish university students. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of several models have shown a six-factor, 33-item solution to have good model …
Sarcasm Use in Polish and Turkish
Let’s entertain others
People who have the histrionic self-presentation style (HSP) demonstrate certain As-If-behaviors, involving pretense and role play, in their daily interactions to seek attention and amuse others. Doing As-If may be closely related to humor behaviors, so we examined this relationship in greater detail by using the Comic Style Markers (CSM) in Polish, English, and Canadian samples ( N = 285, 383, and 305, respectively; M age = 20.85, SD = 5.35). We…
Individual Differences in Verbal Irony Use
“A bit of salt, a bit of pepper, and a bit of irony
A qualitative study was carried out to survey attitudes towards and feelings associated with verbal irony among gelotophobes and nongelotophobes (gelotophobia denoting the fear of being laughed at). Sixty-one people (13 gelotophobes) were surveyed using an open-ended online questionnaire. An inductive, manifest content analysis was carried out. The analysis distinguished that non-gelotophobes treat verbal irony as a skillful way of drawing attent…
