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.
本研究总结了社会心理学和积极心理学中关于幽默风格、人格与幸福感之间关系所产生的知识。具体而言，对15项研究的结果进行了元分析，这些研究采用幽默风格问卷（Martin、Puhlik-Doris、Larsen、Gray和Weir，2003）测量幽默风格，并与大五人格模型测量的人格特质（用不同量表测量）相关联。按照Rosenthal（1991）在相关研究中进行元分析所提出的步骤，我们计算了总平均r作为效应大小的指标。结果表明，亲和型幽默与神经质和外向性有强烈且一致的关系。结论部分讨论了变量之间发现的同质性和异质性以及可能的解释。
