Abstract

Humour processing is complex and may be influenced by an individual's emotional state. This study explores the differences in incongruity-resolution and nonsense joke humour processing between three groups with different emotional states (positive, neutral and negative). Each group consisted of 32 participants. The positive and negative emotion groups were asked to elicit positive and negative emotions, respectively, through autobiographical recall. In contrast, the neutral emotion group was asked to answer questions unrelated to emotions. Participants were also asked to rate their emotional valence, arousal and conformity with the provided emotion words. Subsequently, they were directed to rate their humour appreciation, humour comprehension and level of surprise at the jokes. The results indicate that these variables interacted with the level of amusement derived from the two humour types. The positive emotion group perceived nonsense jokes as funnier than the negative emotion group, while the negative emotion group perceived nonsense jokes as less amusing than incongruity-resolution jokes. No significant difference was found between the three emotion groups in terms of humour comprehension and surprise at the jokes. The results deepen the understanding of the correlation between emotional states and processing of different humour types.

情绪状态对不和谐分辨和无厘头幽默处理的影响。
幽默处理是一个复杂的过程,可能会受到个人情绪状态的影响。本研究探讨了三组不同情绪状态(积极、中性和消极)的人在解决不和谐和无厘头笑话幽默处理方面的差异。每个小组由 32 名参与者组成。积极情绪组和消极情绪组分别被要求通过自传回忆来激发积极情绪和消极情绪。而中性情绪组则被要求回答与情绪无关的问题。此外,还要求受试者对自己的情绪价值、唤醒程度和与所提供情绪词的一致性进行评分。随后,他们还要对自己的幽默鉴赏力、幽默理解力和对笑话的惊讶程度进行评分。结果表明,这些变量与从两种幽默类型中获得的娱乐程度相互影响。积极情绪组认为无厘头笑话比消极情绪组有趣,而消极情绪组则认为无厘头笑话不如不和谐笑话有趣。在幽默理解能力和对笑话的惊讶程度方面,三个情绪组之间没有发现明显差异。这些结果加深了人们对情绪状态与处理不同幽默类型之间相关性的理解。
