本研究调查了澳大利亚样本中遗传和/或环境因素导致幽默风格个体差异的程度。参与者是来自澳大利亚双胞胎登记处的 934 对同性成年双胞胎（546 对同卵双胞胎，388 对异卵双胞胎），他们完成了幽默风格问卷 (HSQ)。 HSQ 衡量四种不同的幽默风格——亲和性、自我增强性、攻击性和自我挫败性。结果显示，加性遗传和非共享环境因素导致了所有四种幽默风格的差异，从而复制了之前在英国双胞胎样本中获得的结果。然而，对美国样本进行的一项研究产生了不同的结果，我们根据幽默的跨文化差异来解释这些发现。
The present study investigated the extent to which individual differences in humor styles are attributable to genetic and/or environmental factors in an Australian sample. Participants were 934 same-sex pairs of adult twins from the Australian Twin Registry (546 monozygotic pairs, 388 dizygotic pairs) who completed the Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ). The HSQ measures four distinct styles of humor — affiliative, self-enhancing, aggressive, and self-defeating. Results revealed that additive genetic and non-shared environmental factors accounted for the variance in all four humor styles, thus replicating results previously obtained in a sample of twins from the United Kingdom. However, a study conducted with a U.S. sample produced different results and we interpret these findings in terms of cross-cultural differences in humor.
