The Relationship

Abstract The present study examined the relationship between humor styles and depression using two methods of examination: (1) the mean humor style differences between individuals who reported that they had been diagnosed with depression versus those who did not report being depressed; and (2) the phenotypic, genetic, and environmental correlations between humor styles and a short scale assessing depressed affect created from preexisting measures in archival data. Participants were 1154 adult Australians, consisting of 339 monozygotic twin pairs and 238 dizygotic twin pairs. With respect to mean differences, depressed individuals were found to use self-defeating humor more and self-enhancing humor less than non-depressed adults. When the depressed affect scale score was analyzed, negative correlations were found with both affiliative and self-enhancing humor. A positive correlation was found between depressed affect and both aggressive and self-defeating humor. These phenotypic correlations were also found to have some significant genetic and environmental correlations.

Undergraduate Thesis

<p>The collage students who accomplish the undergraduate thesis will face many demands and obstacles and lead them to some difficulties if they perform low optimism. The aim of this study was measuring the relationship between humor style and optimism among the Engineering students at State University of Makassar who accomplish the undergraduate thesis. The participants of this study were 231 collage students from Engineering Faculty at State University of Makassar. Sampling technique used in this study was accidental sampling with quantitative method. The result of this study showed that affiliative humor style positively related to optimism (<em>r</em>=0,314,<em>p</em>=0,000), self enhancing humor positively related to optimism (<em>r</em>=0,155,<em>p</em>=0,018), aggressive humor negatively correlated with optimism (<em>r</em>=-0,324,<em>p</em>=0,000<em>)</em>, and self-defeating humor negatively correlated with optimism (<em>r</em>=-0,163,<em>p</em>=0,013). This study proved that affiliative humor and self-enhancing humor can increase the optimism. In contrast, aggressive and self-defeating humor can diminish the optimism among the students.</p>

The Relationship

Background: Humor, as a form of social risk-taking is observed more frequently among individuals with risky behaviors. It seems that self-control is related to risky behaviors and humor styles. Based on the recommendations of past studies, the present study was conducted to investigate whether self-controlmediates the relationship between risk perception and risk-taking with humor styles. Methods: The statistical population included students of Bojnord University in the academic year of 2019. A sample of 380 students was selected by stratified random sampling. They completed the humor style questionnaire, self-control questionnaire, and domain-specific risk-taking scale. The data were analyzed by SPSS software version 23 and the tests of correlation and path analysis. Results: The results showed that adaptive humor styles were not significantly related to self-control and risk-taking; only the affiliative humor style had a negative correlation with risk perceptions. Maladaptive humor styles correlated significantly with self-control and risk-taking; only an aggressive humor style was related to positive risk perceptions. Path analysis showed that self-control affected the aggressive humor style (β = -.45, p < .0001) and self-defeating style (β = -.23, p < .0001), risk perception had a direct effect on aggressive humor style (β = .10, p < .012), and risk-taking affected the aggressive humor (β = -.19, p < .0001) and self-defeating (β = -.11, p < .016). Also, risk-taking through self-control affected aggressive humor style and self-defeating humor style significantly. The results of the goodness of fit in the modified model showed that the value of χ2, GFI, AGFI, CFI, and RMSEA were.13, 1, .99, 1, and .0001, respectively and all these indices were at an acceptable level. Conclusion: Individuals with high self-control take more risk and use less maladaptive humor styles. Individuals with weak ability cannot control their feelings, which results in maladaptive humor styles in interpersonal relationships.
