Significant Difference

50 male and 50 female students attending a small Catholic college in a suburban area were given a questionnaire of 30 jokes and 20 biographical questions. The subjects rated the jokes on scale of 1 (not at all funny) through 5 (very funny). The jokes had been previously categorized by 5 male and 5 female judges independently into absurd, aggressive, profeminist, sexual, sexist, and racial. No significant difference was found between the sexes on feminist attitude and use of humor. Correlations between categories of jokes and total joke responses were significant. Results were not consistent with previous studies. Reasons for the differences were examined.

Student Today

AbstractTheology has a problem Justifying itself to its students as well as to itself. Its proper role is to bring the student to a deeper Christian faith experience. Two methods for doing this are the “general religious experience” approach and the method which concentrates on the uniqueness of Christ and his message and an interpersonal encounter with him. The latter method is preferred, and has proven most useful in rekindling the faith among college students.
