A Meta‐Analytical Review of the Saying‐is‐Believing Phenomenon
The saying‐is‐believing (SIB) effect suggests that communicators’ messages align with the audience's attitude, leading to memory bias in subsequent recall. This meta‐analysis examines how variations in the audience's social identity and communication topics influence the strength and occurrence of the SIB effect. The meta‐analysis included 27 studies from 13 articles (1990–2021), yielding 55 effect sizes for message tuning and 59 for memory bias …
Humor en el Festival de Viña del Mar (2000 a 2019)
De acuerdo con diferentes enfoques en Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades, el humor cumple roles específicos a nivel social: presentar y destacar los temas relevantes de la coyuntura y servir como agresión aceptable cuando se percibe abuso de parte de quienes están más arriba en la jerarquía social. Basados en estas ideas, en este estudio realizamos un análisis emocional y de contenido temático de 73 rutinas cómicas presentadas en el Festival de Viña…
Laughing your vote off
Both the Theory of Affective Intelligence and the Expectancy Violation Theory suggest emotions are crucial in supporting political candidates. However, despite the considerable existing evidence on this topic, the impact of humor-induced emotions has been less explored. In this study, we examine whether positive and negative emotions mediate the effects of politicians’ use of affiliative humor on their likeability and citizen’s intention to vote …
Laughing at Politicians to Make Justice
A recent line of research in the field of humor has proposed the existence of two morally based comic styles. One of them, corrective humor (or satire), seeks to ridicule and mock to establish justice. In contrast, benevolent humor attempts to correct deviances using humor in a friendly manner understanding human imperfections. Considering their focus on correcting what is perceived as morally wrong, in this study we seek to examine how these sty…
A leader or a comedian? Perceptions of politicians based on their use of humor on Twitter
Politicians are tasked with both holding expertise and being relatable to the general population they are representing. Accordingly, politicians strategize their communication style to achieve both aims. One strategy they implement is using humor in their communication to constituents. But is this an effective strategy across humor styles? Does political affiliation or gender of the politician impact these effects? We examine these questions in a…

We analyzed tweets ( n = 6,443) from 27 politicians to determine their use of different types of humor and its relationship with age, gender, or political posi…

Where’s your sense of humor? Political identity moderates evaluations of disparagement humor
Two experiments ( N = 449; 246 men, 198 women) examined how political identity moderates appreciation of disparagement humor that violates different moral foundations described in moral foundations theory. In Experiment 1, liberals evaluated memes violating the individualizing moral foundations as more offensive and less funny than conservatives, whereas conservatives rated memes violating the binding moral foundations as more offensive and less …
Who shows which kind of humor? Exploring sociodemographic differences in eight comic styles in a large Chilean sample
The present study investigates mean‐level differences in eight comic styles (fun, benevolent humor, nonsense, wit, irony, satire, sarcasm, and cynicism) depending on the sociodemographic variables gender, age, education, political spectrum, and religious affiliation. A large and varied Chilean adult sample ( N = 1,272, 60.1% women; age M = 39.94, SD = 17.33) was recruited in face‐to‐face interviews and online testing. They completed self‐reports …
Comic styles and their relation to the sense of humor, humor appreciation, acceptability of prejudice, humorous self-image and happiness
The present study investigates the relationships of eight comic styles (fun, benevolent humor, nonsense, wit, irony, satire, sarcasm, and cynicism) with acceptability of prejudice (laughing at different groups and topics), humorous self-image (funniness and frequency of laughter), humor appreciation (funniness and aversiveness of cartoons with different structures and contents), and happiness. A representative Chilean adult sample ( N =857, 60.8%…
