Abstract The use of humor may affect how bystanders respond to slurs. Undergraduates (N = 192) completed a measure of prejudice towards people with intellectual disabilities and were randomly assigned to read a scenario in which a peer uses a slur either as part of a joke (humor condition) or a statement (control condition). Participants responded to measures of intent to assertively respond and their evaluation of the speaker. Humor inhibited intent to nonverbally disagree and to verbally confront. Bystanders’ own prejudicial attitudes moderated the effects of humor on intent to verbally confront and negative evaluation. In the humor condition, compared to those with lower prejudice, those with higher prejudice showed less intent to confront and less negative evaluations. In the control condition, intent to confront, and negative evaluation were high, regardless of prejudice. These results suggest that humor inhibits assertive responses to slurs, particularly among people without highly favorable attitudes about the targeted social group.

认真对待一个笑话:幽默何时会影响对智障人士口齿不清的反应?

摘要 幽默的使用可能会影响旁观者对诽谤的反应。本科生 (N = 192) 完成了对智障人士的偏见测量,并被随机分配阅读一个场景,其中同伴使用诽谤作为笑话(幽默条件)或陈述(控制条件)的一部分。参与者对果断回应的意图和他们对演讲者的评价做出回应。幽默抑制了非语言不同意和口头对抗的意图。旁观者自己的偏见态度缓和了幽默对口头对抗意图和负面评价的影响。在幽默条件下,与偏见程度较低的人相比,偏见程度较高的人表现出较少的对抗意愿和较少的负面评价。在控制条件下,意图对抗,无论偏见如何,负面评价都很高。这些结果表明,幽默会抑制对诽谤的自信反应,特别是在对目标社会群体没有高度积极态度的人中。
