摘要

一项实验验证了这样一个假设，即在参加一场困难的数学考试之前，先看幽默材料可以抑制与考试相关的焦虑程度，从而提高成绩。与我们的假设一致，参与者在第一次接触有趣的漫画后，在数学测试中表现得更好，而不是非幽默的诗歌或什么都没有。中介分析表明，状态焦虑介导了幽默漫画与数学成绩之间的关系。第一次接触卡通的参与者在数学测试中表现更好，因为他们在测试时感到的焦虑较少。

Effect of humor on state anxiety and math performance

An experiment tested the hypothesis that exposure to humorous material prior to taking a difficult math test can inhibit the amount of anxiety associated with the test, and thus enhance performance. In keeping with our hypothesis, participants performed better on a math test after first being exposed to funny cartoons versus non-humorous poems or nothing at all. Mediation analyses suggest that state anxiety mediated the relationship between exposure to humorous cartoons and math performance. Participants who were first exposed to cartoons performed better on the math test because they felt less anxiety while taking the test.

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.
