"The Five Factor Personality Traits" and "Humor Styles Questionnaire" were applied to determine scores of the five factors personality traits and humor styles of students. The findings of this research have been summarized below. No significant difference has been found between average scores of participating students' gender, personality and humor styles.

“…In the case of the data for Spain and Chile, we used data collected by the authors. In the case of the study by Veselka et al (2010), they used the Hexaco model, so that in this case the size of the samples was not considered for the Neuroticism variable. Following the steps proposed by Rosenthal (1991), we calculated the weighted effect size (mean r), the confidence interval for the weighted effect and the homogeneity or heterogeneity of the studies.…”

This research summarizes the knowledge generated in social psychology and positive psychology about the relationship between humor styles, personality and wellbeing. Specifically, a meta-analysis was performed with the results of 15 studies on humor styles measured by the Humor Styles Questionnaire (Martin, Puhlik-Doris, Larsen, Gray & Weir, 2003) in correlation with the personality traits measured by the Big Five Personality model (measured with different scales). Following the steps presented by Rosenthal (1991) for meta-analysis in the case of correlational research, we calculated the total mean r as an indicator of effect size. Results show that affiliative humor has a strong and homogeneous relation to neuroticism and extraversion. The homogeneity and heterogeneity found between variables and possible explanations are discussed in the conclusion.

“…These studies generally support the notion that the positive humour styles are positively linked to well-being whereas negative styles tend to be negatively associated with well-being, a finding that extends to relationship satisfaction (Cann et al 2008(Cann et al , 2009). The heritability of humour styles has been estimated to range between 30 and 50 percent (Rushton et al 2009;Vernon et al 2008aVernon et al , 2008bVernon et al , 2009Veselka et al 2010aVeselka et al , 2010b.…”

Autism-spectrum traits predict humor styles in the general population

Previous research shows that individuals with Asperger syndrome or high-functioning autism tend to have impaired processing of humour and laugh at things that are not commonly found funny. Here the relationship between humour styles and the broader autism phenotype was investigated in a sample of the general population. The autism-spectrum quotient (AQ) and the humour styles questionnaire (HSQ) were administered to six hundred US participants recruited through anInternet-based service. On the whole, high scores on AQ were negatively related to positive humour styles and unrelated to negative humour styles. However, AQ subscales representing different autism-spectrum traits exhibited different patterns. In particular, the factor "poor mind-reading" was associated with higher scores on negative humour styles and the factor "attention to detail" was associated with higher scores on all humour styles, suggesting a more nuanced picture of the relationship between autism-spectrum traits and humour.
