我们研究了幽默对应对自我威胁的情感和认知影响。研究基于幽默的不协调概念，该概念将幽默指定为一种将厌恶事件评价为有害且可接受的状态。使用与评估相关的程序启动范式来引发幽默。在研究 1（N = 41 名女学生）中，研究了幽默对自我威胁后的积极和消极情绪的影响。在研究 2 中（N = 52 名学生；94% 为女性），我们调查了幽默对于对失败的自私解释、伤害意识以及随后的表现的影响。相对于控制条件，幽默增加了积极情绪，同时不完全影响消极情绪，并增加了将失败归因于外部的倾向，同时清楚地认识到了伤害。然而，幽默导致随后的表现较差，这表明幽默也可能有其代价。
We examined the affective and cognitive impact of humour on coping with self-threat. Research was based on an incongruity concept of humour that specifies humour as a state resulting from appraising an aversive incident as both harmful and as acceptable. An appraisal related procedural priming paradigm was used to induce humour. In Study 1 (N = 41 female students) the impact of humour on positive and negative affect following self-threat was examined. In Study 2 (N = 52 students; 94% women) we investigated the consequences of humour for a self-serving interpretation of failure, the awareness of harm, and subsequent performance. Relative to the control condition, humour increased positive affect, while not exclusively affecting negative affect, and increased the tendency for an external attribution of failure, while harm was clearly recognized. However, humour led to poorer subsequent performance, suggesting that humour may also have its costs.
