An earlier review (Schneider et al., 2018) examined the connection between humor styles and mental health. The present article supplements and extends Schneider et al.'s review by surveying a broader concept, subjective well-being (SWB), and investigating the moderating effects of culture and age. To this end, we collected data from 85 studies, with 27,562 participants of varying ages and cultures. Meta-analysis results indicate that affiliative and self-enhancing humor enhances SWB, whereas aggressive and self-defeating humor damages SWB. Culture and age do not moderate the relation between humor styles and SWB. We discuss implications for better understanding of the relationships among culture, age, humor, and SWB.
一项较早的综述（施奈德等人，2018年）研究了幽默风格与心理健康之间的联系。本文通过考察一个更宽泛的概念——主观幸福感（SWB），并研究文化和年龄的调节作用，对施奈德等人的综述进行补充和扩展。为此，我们收集了85项研究的数据，涉及年龄和文化各异的27562名参与者。元分析结果表明，亲和型和自我提升型幽默能增强主观幸福感，而攻击型和自我挫败型幽默则会损害主观幸福感。文化和年龄并未调节幽默风格与主观幸福感之间的关系。我们讨论了这些结果对于更好理解文化、年龄、幽默和主观幸福感之间关系的意义。
