Resumen

A la luz de las implicaciones de la psicología positiva, recientemente se ha dedicado atención al estudio del humor y su relación con la salud destacando sus beneficios para las personas. Esta conceptualización como “humor terapéutico” ha promovido investigaciones (Cann y Etzel, 2008; Capps, 2006; Erickson y Feldstein, 2007; Kuiper, Martin y Olinger, 1993; Martin et al., 2003; Vilaythong, Aranu, Rosen y Mascaro, 2003) que han derivado en la elaboración de diferentes escalas del humor, determinando que existen diferentes estilos del mismo. Algunos estilos de humor tienen claras raíces en la historia y cultura dominicana como es discutido en este trabajo. El objetivo de esta investigación es estudiar los diferentes estilos de humor, su relación con la edad, con la felicidad subjetiva y con la depresión en una muestra de 145 universitarias dominicanas. Se utilizan instrumentos como el Cuestionario de Estilos de Humor (HSQ) (Martin et al., 2003), la Escala de Depresión del Centro para Estudios Epidemiológicos (Kohout, Berkman, Evans y Cornoni-Huntley, 1993) y la Escala de Felicidad Subjetiva (Lyubomirsky y Lepper, 1999). Los resultados muestran diferencias entre los diversos estilos de humor con excepción del humor agresivo y de descalificación que resultan semejantes en su intensidad de manifestación: el humor de mejora personal es el menos prevalente, seguido del afiliativo y ambos son significativamente menores en promedio que el resto, los nocivos. Las jóvenes dominicanas, arrojan al igual que poblaciones descritas en literaturas como la española, un perfil con predominancia
de humor agresivo y de descalificación sobre el uso del humor afiliativo y de mejora personal. Se observa un comportamiento diferencial con la depresión del humor agresivo y el descalificativo: solo el segundo es significativo, y tiene signo negativo. Los cuatro estilos de humor se muestran independientes de la edad.
