This study explored the effect of humor on teacher-student relationship quality (TSRQ) and student engagement by uncovering the mediating role of TSRQ and the moderating role of individual differences (personal sense of humor). Data were collected using a cross-sectional time-lag approach with 2 phases; 367 students participated. The hypotheses were tested with a moderated mediation model. Perceived humor was positively related to TSRQ and student engagement. The results also confirmed the mediating role of TSRQ; a sense of humor positively moderated the relationship between perceived related humor and TSRQ, as well as perceived related humor and student engagement. The present study uncovers the relationship between humor and relationship quality in learning settings. Moreover, our study provides the first empirical data on the mediating effects of TSRQ on perceived related humor and student engagement. It also reveals the role of individual differences (sense of humor) in the proposed model.
本研究通过揭示师生关系质量（TSRQ）的中介作用和个体差异（个人幽默感）的调节作用，探讨了幽默对师生关系质量和学生参与度的影响。数据采用两阶段的横截面时滞方法收集；367名学生参与其中。研究假设通过一个有调节的中介模型进行检验。感知到的幽默与师生关系质量和学生参与度呈正相关。研究结果还证实了师生关系质量的中介作用；幽默感正向调节了感知到的相关幽默与师生关系质量之间的关系，以及感知到的相关幽默与学生参与度之间的关系。本研究揭示了学习环境中幽默与关系质量之间的关系。此外，我们的研究提供了关于师生关系质量对感知到的相关幽默和学生参与度的中介作用的首个实证数据。它还揭示了个体差异（幽默感）在所提出模型中的作用。
