This study investigated the attitude towards humor and the relationship among the attitude, aggression and altruism. Four hundred and seven subjects answered the questionnaires consisting of (1) items about attitude toward humor, (2) items about aggression and altruism, and (3) items about humorous statements, frequently heared in negative situations. Factor analysis revealed that the attitude toward humor consists of two factors; (a) preference for aggressive humor and (b) preference for playful humor. The former is related to aggression and altruism, while the latter is related to altruism only. The items about humorous statements frequently heard in negative situations suggested that preference for aggressive humor is related to aggressive behavior, while preference for playful humor is related to moderation of the atmosphere.
本研究调查了对幽默的态度以及该态度、攻击性和利他主义之间的关系。407名受试者回答了问卷，问卷包括：（1）关于对幽默态度的项目；（2）关于攻击性和利他主义的项目；（3）关于在消极情境中经常听到的幽默语句的项目。因素分析表明，对幽默的态度由两个因素组成：（a）对攻击性幽默的偏好；（b）对趣味性幽默的偏好。前者与攻击性和利他主义有关，而后者仅与利他主义有关。关于在消极情境中经常听到的幽默语句的项目表明，对攻击性幽默的偏好与攻击行为有关，而对趣味性幽默的偏好与缓和气氛有关。
