ABSTRACT The aim of the present research was to fùrther understanding of how humor is used as a coping strategy and the potential influence of sex, temperarnent. and situationa1 factors on its effectiveness. Study 1 describes the development of a new measure, the Waterloo Uses of Humor Inventory (WUHI), which was designed to gain a more comprehensive assessment of coping hurnor than was available with existing measures. The results of exploratory factor analysis indicated 3 factors for the WUHI: Perspective-Taking Humor which describes adopting a humorous perspective on and sharing humorous stories about stressful events and personal short-comings; Aggressive Humor, the use of hostile humor when threatened; and Avoidant Humor, using humor to distract one's self and/or others fiom immediate stressors. Confirmatory factor analyses proved that the 3-factor solution was replicable and did not differ between the sexes. The 3 subscales also demonstrated good interna1 consistency and stability. Study 2 and Study 3 examined the validity of the WUHI scales. Study 2 investigated their relationships with previously established measures of hurnor. personality and coping. Study 3 investigated the ability of the WUHI scales to predict hurnor behaviour and moods in response to a stressful lab situation. The pattern of associations found with each WUM scde across studies was unique and, for the most part, predictable based on theoretical considerations. The WHI scales were also distinct ftom a measure of cheerfûl temperament in the prediction of outcomes in response to stress, hence providing support for their incremental validity and potentid utility as predictors of behaviour and moods in situations where coping is relevant. The findings are discussed with respect to their implications for clinical interventions and fiiture research. Acknowledgements 1would like to extend rny deepiy felt thanks and appreciation to everyone who contributed to this project. First, the members of my cornmittee, Dr.'s Herbert Lefcourt, Erik Woody, and Scott McCabe, for their input and support. Thank you to everyone who participated in these studies, those who helped me collect and code the data (Michael Bussari, Troy Visser, Ji11 Dickenson, Lisa Cassagrande, Al Negro, Steve Rueffer, Gayle Kunkle, Jessie Hymen, Laura Shepard, and Joe Pellizzari), and to my friends Romie Bercovici, Karen Fisher, Mark MacKenzie, Laurent Lapier, and Shawna Lightbody for volunteering their hurnor, creativity, and acting skills for the development of recordings used to elicit hurnor from research participants. Last, but not least, 1would like to thank my family and friends who were integral in helping me maintain my sense of humor throughout this process: The Thomas clan: Mum and Dad, Garth, Alicia, Sue, and Suga-Thai; David Zweig, Karen MacCleod, Rebecca Cohen, fisBelanger, Marla Bigel, Shawna Lightbody, Leanne Son Hing, Ronnie Bercovici, Laurent Lapier, Cindy Toyota, Tomasz Tornza, Mark & Joe MacKenzie, Julie Anderson.

  • The Psychobiology of Humor and Laughter
    ch006-P372564.qxd 15/8/06 10:02 AM Page 153 CHAPTER 6 The Psychobiology of Humor and Laughter Like all psychological phenomena, humor is based on a large number of complex biological processes taking place in the brain and nervous system. To experience humor, an individual must first perceive playful incongruity in a stimulus event. This perceptual process draws on systems located in many regions of the cerebral cortex involved in visual and auditory perception, lan- guage comprehension, social cognition, logical reasoning, and so forth. When humor is perceived, these cognitive processes stimulate emotional systems associated with positive feelings of mirth and amusement, involving areas in the prefrontal cortex and limbic system. These emotion systems also release a cocktail of biochemical mole- cules, producing further changes in the brain and throughout the body via the auto- nomic nervous system and endocrine system. In addition, the activation of mirthful emotion typically triggers the expressive responses of smiling and laughter, which involve the brainstem and its connections to the forebrain, as well as nerves leading to muscles in the face, larynx, and respiratory system. The investigation of these sorts of biological processes in humor lies within the domain of biological psychology (also known as psychobiology or physiological psy- chology), the branch of the discipline that studies the relation between behavior and the body, particularly the brain. Biological psychology is part of a broader field of study known as neuroscience, which also includes disciplines such as neurophysi- ology, neuroanatomy, and brain biochemistry. Although the study of humor and laughter has not been a major focus in biological psychology, there has been a small 153 ch006-P372564.qxd 15/8/06 10:02 AM Page 154 154 6 ᭿ THE PSYCHOBIOLOGY OF HUMOR AND LAUGHTER but steady output of research on this topic over the years.
