BACKGROUND
It seems that the core neural regions and cognitive processes implicated in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) pathophysiology may overlap with those involved in humor appreciation. However, to date, there have been no studies that have explored humor appreciation in OCD. The purpose of the present work was to investigate humor appreciation in a group of patients with OCD.
METHODS
We examined 25 patients with OCD and 25 healthy controls, matched by age, education, and gender. We administered Penn's Humor Appreciation Test (PHAT), a computerized test comprising captionless cartoons by Mordillo. Each set of stimuli consisted of two almost identical drawings, one of which was funny due to the alteration of a detail in the cartoon, whereas the other was not funny. Severity of psychopathology was evaluated with the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS).
RESULTS
No significant effect for group, gender or group × gender interaction was found on the PHAT scores. In OCD patients, humor appreciation was not significantly associated with age of onset, duration of illness, and obsessions, but correlated significantly with compulsions.
CONCLUSIONS
Humor appreciation, based on captionless cartoons in OCD, does not seem to be deficient compared to healthy subjects but may be related to illness characteristics.
背景
强迫症（OCD）的病理生理学所涉及的核心神经区域和认知过程似乎与幽默欣赏所涉及的区域重叠。然而，迄今为止，还没有研究探索 OCD 患者的幽默欣赏能力。本研究旨在调查 OCD 患者的幽默欣赏能力。
方法
我们对 25 名强迫症患者和 25 名年龄、教育和性别相匹配的健康对照进行了检查。我们使用了 Penn 的幽默欣赏测试（PHAT），这是一种由 Mordillo 创作的无标题卡通的计算机测试。每组刺激都由两幅几乎相同的图画组成，一幅由于卡通细节的改变而变得有趣，而另一幅则不有趣。使用耶鲁-布朗强迫症量表（Y-BOCS）评估精神病理学的严重程度。
结果
在 PHAT 得分上，组间、性别间或组间×性别间无显著影响。在 OCD 患者中，幽默欣赏与发病年龄、病程和强迫观念无显著相关性，但与强迫行为显著相关。
结论
基于无标题卡通的 OCD 患者的幽默欣赏能力似乎与健康受试者没有差异，但可能与疾病特征有关。
