摘要

本文通过两项研究探讨了移情和系统化对认知和情感幽默加工的影响。在逻辑机制(LMs)和认知要求上不同的三种卡通类型呈现给在一个量表上得分高而在另一个量表上得分低的参与者(共情者和系统化者):视觉双关语、语义卡通和心理理论卡通。共情者和系统化者对这些卡通类型的处理方式不同。在研究一(N = 33)中，共情者和系统化者在识别时间和可理解性上没有差异，但在研究二(N = 55)中，共情者确实表现出更高的滑稽得分。此外，移情者更经常给出情感/动机的解释，以及更多的心理解释，为什么他们认为漫画很有趣。此外，《心理理论》动画片引发了最多的心理主义解释。这表明刺激特征(如LMs)和个体间差异影响幽默加工是否需要和应用心理化，移情和系统化影响幽默欣赏。

The influence of empathizing and systemizing on humor processing: Theory of Mind and humor

This paper investigates the influence of empathizing and systemizing on cognitive and affective humor processing in two studies. Three cartoon types differing in their logical mechanisms (LMs) and cognitive requirements were presented to participants with high scores on one scale and low scores on the other (empathizers and systemizers): visual puns, semantic cartoons and Theory of Mind cartoons. Empathizers and systemizers were expected to process these cartoon types differently. While empathizers and systemizers did not differ in recognition time and comprehensibility in study one (N = 33), empathizers did portray higher funniness scores in study two (N = 55). Furthermore, empathizers more often gave emotional/motivational explanations as well as more mentalistic explanations as to why they think a cartoon is funny. In addition, Theory of Mind cartoons provoked the highest number of mentalistic explanations. This shows that stimulus characteristics (such as LMs) as well as inter-individual differences influence whether mentalizing is required and applied to processing humor, and that empathizing and systemizing influence humor appreciation.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
