Empirical investigation into the theoretical connection between humor appreciation and aggression has provided a continued series of equivocal results. This experiment examined the proposition that previous inconsistencies were due to the lack of concern for individual locus of control. Female subjects, differentiated as internals and externals, received either an aggression arousal induction procedure or a neutral nonarousal procedure. Subjects were presented three stimulus situations: neutral humor, aggressive humor, or nonhumorous material, and assessed for mood state. Locus of control was found to be a significant variable in the effectiveness of aggressive humor to reduce aggressive mood. Internals were able to reduce aggressive mood through appreciation of aggressive humor and demonstrated preference for this humor type. Importance of internals' cognitive style interacting with humor content was found significant in relationship between humor and aggressive reduction.
对幽默欣赏与攻击性之间理论联系的实证研究得出了一系列持续的模棱两可的结果。本实验检验了这样一种观点，即先前的不一致是由于缺乏对个体控制点的关注。将女性受试者区分为内控型和外控型，她们分别接受攻击性唤起诱导程序或中性非唤起程序。向受试者呈现三种刺激情境：中性幽默、攻击性幽默或非幽默素材，并对其情绪状态进行评估。结果发现，控制点是攻击性幽默减轻攻击情绪有效性的一个重要变量。内控型受试者能够通过欣赏攻击性幽默来减轻攻击情绪，并表现出对这种幽默类型的偏好。在内控型受试者的认知风格与幽默内容的相互作用中，发现其在幽默与攻击情绪减轻之间的关系中具有重要意义。
