dc.description.abstract | One hundred and ten college students from general education and general Psychology classes completed measures of narcissism, humor styles, and a 20-item humor appreciation survey online. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the past results (e.g., Besser & Zeigler-Hill, 2011) could be replicated in an individualistic culture. Results showed similar results, with grandiose narcissism having a positive correlation with adaptive humor styles, and vulnerable narcissism having a negative correlation with maladaptive humor styles but a positive correlation with aggressive forms of humor. I discuss implications of these findings and the relationship between narcissistic traits and humor styles. | en_US |
