Abstract Reappraisal is an effective emotion regulation strategy that draws on cognitive processes–like changing one’s thoughts to change one’s feelings–that are similar to those implicated in humor. Yet, very little is known about the links between the dispositional tendency to use reappraisal and individuals’ humor styles (e. g. aggressive, affiliative, self-deprecating, self-enhancing). Importantly, there are gender differences both in emotion regulatory processes and in the use of humor styles. We examined gender differences in reported use of humor styles, the associations between reappraisal and humor styles, and whether gender moderated those associations. Participants (N=250) were recruited through Amazon Mechanical Turk and self-reported their dispositional use of reappraisal and four humor styles. Men reported greater use of aggressive humor compared to women. Dispositional use of reappraisal was positively associated with self-enhancing humor. In addition, reappraisal use was positively related to greater use of affiliative humor, and this association was stronger for men than women. For men, greater use of reappraisal was associated with greater use of self-defeating humor, but reappraisal was negatively associated with self-defeating humor for women. Findings extend insight from prior work and suggest that both reappraisal and specific ways of using humor draw on aspects of self-regulatory competence rooted in cognitive change abilities, and the patterns of association differ in interesting ways for men and women.

重新评估和幽默风格关联的性别差异

摘要 重新评价是一种有效的情绪调节策略,它利用与幽默相关的认知过程——比如改变思想来改变自己的感受。然而,人们对使用重新评估的性格倾向与个人幽默风格(例如好斗、亲和、自贬、自我提升)之间的联系知之甚少。重要的是,在情绪调节过程和幽默风格的使用方面都存在性别差异。我们检查了所报告的幽默风格使用中的性别差异、重新评估和幽默风格之间的关联,以及性别是否调节了这些关联。参与者 (N=250) 是通过 Amazon Mechanical Turk 招募的,并自我报告了他们对重新评估和四种幽默风格的性格使用。与女性相比,男性报告更多地使用攻击性幽默。重新评估的性格使用与自我提升的幽默呈正相关。此外,重新评估的使用与更多地使用亲和幽默呈正相关,男性的这种关联性强于女性。对于男性来说,更多地使用重新评估与更多地使用自毁幽默相关,但重新评估与女性自毁幽默呈负相关。研究结果扩展了先前工作的见解,并表明重新评估和使用幽默的特定方式都利用了植根于认知变化能力的自我调节能力的各个方面,并且男性和女性的关联模式以有趣的方式不同。重新评估的使用与更多地使用亲和幽默呈正相关,男性的这种关联比女性更强。对于男性来说,更多地使用重新评估与更多地使用自毁幽默相关,但重新评估与女性自毁幽默呈负相关。研究结果扩展了先前工作的见解,并表明重新评估和使用幽默的特定方式都利用了植根于认知变化能力的自我调节能力的各个方面,并且男性和女性的关联模式以有趣的方式不同。重新评估的使用与更多地使用亲和幽默呈正相关,男性的这种关联比女性更强。对于男性来说,更多地使用重新评估与更多地使用自毁幽默相关,但重新评估与女性自毁幽默呈负相关。研究结果扩展了先前工作的见解,并表明重新评估和使用幽默的特定方式都利用了植根于认知变化能力的自我调节能力的各个方面,并且男性和女性的关联模式以有趣的方式不同。但重新评估与女性自我挫败的幽默负相关。研究结果扩展了先前工作的见解,并表明重新评估和使用幽默的特定方式都利用了植根于认知变化能力的自我调节能力的各个方面,并且男性和女性的关联模式以有趣的方式不同。但重新评估与女性自我挫败的幽默负相关。研究结果扩展了先前工作的见解,并表明重新评估和使用幽默的特定方式都利用了植根于认知变化能力的自我调节能力的各个方面,并且男性和女性的关联模式以有趣的方式不同。
