The Psychology of Humor
Health among humorists
There is a widely held belief that humor contributes to better health, but the research on this topic yields mixed results. To assess the relationship between humor and health, we compared the susceptibility to various infectious diseases of 511 comedy performers (amateur improvisational artists) and a control group of 795 non-performers that were matched to the comedy performers sample in age and sex. Subjects reported the number of episodes and…

On the challenges of measuring humor styles
I applaud Heintz and Ruch (this issue) for their efforts at evaluating the construct validity of the Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ). However, their study has several weaknesses that limit the conclusions that can be drawn. Most importantly, the measures developed by these authors to test the validity of the HSQ have questionable reliability and validity themselves, due to the challenges inherent in measuring humor styles via self-report. These …
Relationship-focused humor styles and relationship satisfaction in dating couples
This investigation used a repeated-measures diary methodology to examine associations between humor styles used in the context of dating relationships and relationship satisfaction over time. Over a period of three weeks, undergraduate students (
Early maladaptive schemas, styles of humor and aggression
The relationship between early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) and psychopathology is thought to be mediated by the use of maladaptive compensatory coping and deficits in adaptive coping. One form of coping that might be affected by EMSs is an individual's style of humor, which can be adaptive or maladaptive. This study examined the relationships among EMS domains, styles of humor, and aggression. The EMS domain of Impaired Limits was most consistentl…
Childhood experiences of professional comedians
This study examines a commonly held belief, left over from psychoanalytic theories of humor as a coping mechanism, that relationships with parents strongly influence comedians' temperaments and career choices. Thirty one professional stand-up comedians and 400 students completed the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), which concerns recollected parental care and protectiveness, and a new self-report questionnaire that measures popularity and humor…
An observational study of humor use while resolving conflict in dating couples
This research focused on whether affiliative and aggressive humor use was associated with relationship satisfaction and with greater perceived closeness, problem resolution, and emotional distress following a conflict discussion task. Ninety‐eight dating couples from a large Texas University participated in this research. Both partners independently completed questionnaires about their relationship perceptions, participated in a videotaped confli…
Humor styles and personality-vulnerability to depression
Sociotropy and autonomy are personality dimensions that represent vulnerabilities for depression, although relatively little is known about the social-psychological mechanisms underlying this association. The present research tested associations between personality-vulnerability dimensions, depressive symptoms, and positive and negative styles of humor in undergraduates as one means of characterizing the social interaction patterns of sociotropic…
The Muhammad cartoons and humor research
At the 2006 conference of the International Society for Humor Studies (Danish University of Education, Copenhagen), several panels addressed issues raised by the Muhammad cartoon story. Among these, a colloquium organized by Paul Lewis and decorously titled “Transnational Ridicule and Response” focused on the implications for humor research of the events surrounding the publication of the cartoons. Along with other materials, panelists were encou…
Validation of the Arabic Humor Styles Questionnaire in a Community Sample of Lebanese in Lebanon
The Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ) is a measure of two potentially beneficial (affiliative and self-enhancing) and two potentially detrimental (self-defeating and aggressive) humor styles. Validation of the Arabic translation of the HSQ in the Lebanese culture, in which the self is construed as interdependent and in-group relatedness is seen as the primary determinant of well-being, indicates that four humor styles exist in the Lebanese context…

A comparison of humor styles, coping humor, and mental health between Chinese and Canadian university students
This research compares the structure and correlates of the Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ) and Coping Humor Scale (CHS) in the Chinese context with those of Canadian samples. Chinese translations of the HSQ, CHS, and Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) were administered to 354 Chinese university students (M = 23.4 years of age, SD = 3.6). As in the original Canadian samples, four humor factors were found in the HSQ: Affliative, Self-enhancing, Aggress…

Four humor factors were found, as in the original Canadian samples: affiliative, self-enhancing, aggressive, and self-defeating humor. Scale reliabilities were generally acceptable, and inter-correlations among the scales were low. Armenian-Leba…

Humor, laughter, and physical health
All published research examining effects of humor and laughter on physical health is reviewed. Potential causal mechanisms and methodological issues are discussed. Laboratory experiments have shown some effects of exposure to comedy on several components of immunity, although the findings are inconsistent and most of the studies have methodological problems. There is also some evidence of analgesic effects of exposure to comedy, although similar …
Daily occurrence of laughter
This study examined the circumstances surrounding the natural occurrence of laughter in everyday life. Eighty community participants (50 men and 30 women), ranging in age from 17 to 79, each completed a daily laughter record for three days, along with self-report measures of laughter responsiveness, coping humor, and Type A personality characteristics. Laughter incidents were coded according to time of day, source and initiator of laughter, and w…
The Situational Humor Response Questionnaire (SHRQ) and Coping Humor Scale (CHS)
The Situational Humor Response Questionnaire (SHRQ) and the Coping Humor Scale (CHS) are self-report measures of different aspects of the sense of humor that were developed in the context of an investigation of the stress-moderating effects of humor. The SHRQ assesses the degree to which subjects laugh and smile in a wide variety of situations, and the CHS measures the degree to which respondents make use of humor in coping with stress in their l…
Sense of humor as a moderator of the relation between stressors and moods
Three studies are reported that investigated the hypothesis, long held by theorists, therapists, and laypersons alike, that sense of humor reduces the deleterious impact of stressful experiences. In each study negative-life-events checklist was used to predict stress scores on measure of mood disturbance. These studies made use of different measures of subjects' sense of humor, including four selfreport scales and two behavioral assessments of su…

Situational Humor Response Questionnaire
In this article, the development of the Situational Humor Response Questionnaire (SHRQ) is described and the findings of three validity studies are reported. We designed this 21-item scale to assess individuals' sense of humor as denned in quantitative terms, in contrast with previous self-report measures of humor, which have been based on a conformist definition. Reliability coefficients in the .70s are reported. The validity studies reveal sign…

Coping humour, stress, and cognitive appraisals.
This study investigated relationships between sense of humour and cognitive appraisals and reappraisals of a potentially stressful event. Cognitive appraisals for an academic examination were obtained at several points in time. Consistent with our predictions, individuals with high scores on the Coping Humour scale appraised the exam as more of a positive challenge than did low humour individuals. In their reappraisals, high humour subjects' rati…
