Abstract
In light of the implications of positive psychology, attention has recently been devoted to the study of humor and its relation to health, highlighting its benefits for people. This conceptualization as a “therapeutic humor” has promoted research (Cann and Etzel, 2008, Capps, 2006, Erickson and Feldstein, 2007, Kuiper, Martin and Olinger, 1993, Martin et al., 2003, Vilaythong, Aranu, Rosen and Mascaro, 2003) that have resulted in the elaboration of different scales of humor, determining that there are different styles of the same. Some humor styles have clear roots in Dominican history and culture as discussed in this paper. The objective of this research is to study the different styles of humor, its relationship with age, with subjective happiness and with depression in a sample of 145 Dominican university students. Instruments such as the Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ) (Martin et al., 2003), the Center Depression Scale for Epidemiological Studies (Kohout, Berkman, Evans and Cornoni-Huntley, 1993) and the Subjective Happiness Scale (Lyubomirsky and Lepper, 1999). The results show differences between the different styles of humor with the exception of aggressive humor and disqualification that are similar in their intensity of manifestation: the humor of personal improvement is the less prevalent, followed by the affiliative and both are significantly lower on average than the rest, the harmful ones. The young Dominicans, as well as populations described in literatures such as the Spanish, throw a profile with predominance of aggressive humor and disqualification on the use of affiliative humor and personal improvement. A differential behavior is observed with the depression of the aggressive humor and the disqualifying one: only the second one is significant, and it has negative sign. The four mood styles are shown independent of age.
