这项定量研究探讨幽默，孤独，性别和衰老之间的相关性，提出了从83个老年罗马尼亚成年人，年龄在60岁及以上的样本的结果。论文的第一部分是对关于衰老、性别和幽默的社会心理学文献的全面回顾。第二部分评估了使用多维幽默感量表（Thorson & Powell，1993）和成人社会和情感孤独量表-简短版（diTomaso，Brannen & Best，2004）的研究结果。基于罗伯特·韦斯（Robert Weiss，1973）对社会孤立或情感孤立导致的孤独感差异的思考，研究发现了细微差别--在某些情况下挑战了关于性别、年龄、情感和社会孤独的几个假设。研究结果还指出了社交孤独感与人际交往中幽默的使用之间的相关性。收集到的数据表明，虽然罗马尼亚男性可能更重视使用幽默比女性自我报告时，老年罗马尼亚妇女往往使用幽默的人际关系的情况下，有一个显着的相关性之间使用这种类型的幽默和减少社会孤独感。
This quantitative study examines the correlations between humor, loneliness, gender and aging by presenting the results from a sample of eighty-three older Romanian adults, aged sixty and above. The first section of the paper is a comprehensive review of the social-psychological literature on aging, gender and humor. The second section assesses the findings generated from a study that uses the Multidimensional Sense of Humor Scale (Thorson & Powell, 1993) and the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults – short version, (diTomaso, Brannen & Best, 2004). Building on Robert Weiss’s (1973) reflections on the differences between feelings of loneliness because of social isolation or emotional isolation, the research findings nuance –and in some cases challenge several assumptions on gender, age, and emotional and social loneliness. The findings also point to the correlation between feelings of social loneliness and the use of humor in interpersonal communications. The data collected suggests that while Romanian men may value the use of humor more than women when self-reporting, that older Romanian women tend to use humor in interpersonal situations and that there is a significant correlation between the use of this type of humor and a reduced sense of social loneliness.
