Most of us laugh at something funny multiple times during a typical
day. Humor serves multiple purposes, and although there is a
sizable and expanding research literature on the subject, the
research is spread in a variety of disciplines. The Psychology of
Humor, 2e reviews the literature, integrating research from across
subdisciplines in psychology, as well as related fields such as
anthropology, biology, computer science, linguistics, sociology,
and more. This book begins by defining humor and presenting
theories of humor. Later chapters cover cognitive processes
involved in humor and the effects of humor on cognition. Individual
differences in personality and humor are identified as well as the
physiology of humor, the social functions of humor, and how humor
develops and changes over the lifespan. This book concludes noting
the association of humor with physical and mental health, and
outlines applications of humor use in psychotherapy, education, and
the workplace. In addition to being fully updated with recent
research, the second edition includes a variety of new materials.
More graphs, tables, and figures now illustrate concepts,
processes, and theories. It provides new brief interviews with
prominent humor scholars via text boxes. The end of each chapter
now includes a list of key concepts, critical thinking questions,
and a list of resources for further reading.
