Research on humor is carried out in a number of areas in
psychology, including the cognitive (What makes something funny?),
developmental (when do we develop a sense of humor?), and social
(how is humor used in social interactions?) Although there is
enough interest in the area to have spawned several societies, the
literature is dispersed in a number of primary journals, with
little in the way of integration of the material into a book.
Dr. Martin is one of the best known researchers in the area, and
his research goes across subdisciplines in psychology to be of wide
appeal. This is a singly authored monograph that provides in one
source, a summary of information researchers might wish to know
about research into the psychology of humor. The material is
scholarly, but the presentation of the material is suitable for
people unfamiliar with the subject-making the book suitable for use
for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses on the
psychology of humor-which have not had a textbook source.
