Abstract

This study investigated the associations among humor styles, general mental health (GMH), and subjective well-being (SWB) in a non-clinical sample of 662 university students (Mage = 21.35, SD = 4.14; 66.3% females) attending Greek public universities, via an online survey. In addition, it investigated possible moderating effects of humor styles in the association between GMH and SWB as well as gender differences. Positive correlations emerged between GMH and SWB, as well as among GMH, SWB, and benign humor styles. Malignant humor styles had a negative correlation with both GMH and SWB. The use of aggressive and self-defeating humor moderated the association between GMH and SWB in that at low levels of these humor styles the link between GMH and SWB was stronger. Finally, males scored higher on self-enhancing and aggressive humor than females. The findings expand previous research and are discussed in terms of their implications.

大学生幽默风格对整体心理健康与主观幸福感关系的调节作用。
本研究调查了662名大学生(Mage = 21.35,标准差 = 4.14;66.3%的女性)就读于希腊公立大学。此外,研究了幽默风格在GMH和SWB之间的关系以及性别差异中可能的调节作用。GMH和SWB之间以及GMH、SWB和良性幽默风格之间均呈正相关。恶性幽默风格与GMH和SWB均呈负相关。攻击性幽默和弄巧成拙的幽默的使用调节了GMH和SWB之间的联系,因为在这些幽默风格的低水平下,GMH和SWB之间的联系更强。最后,男性在自我提升和攻击性幽默方面的得分高于女性。这些发现扩展了先前的研究,并就其含义进行了讨论。
