Abstract

Jovanovic, V. (2011). Do humor styles matter in the relationship between personality and subjective well‐being? Scandinavian Journal of Psychology 52, 502–507. The primary goal of this research was to examine the role of humor styles in the relationships between personality (extraversion and neuroticism) and two components of subjective well‐being: life satisfaction and affective well‐being. The sample consisted of 225 young adults, with mean age 23.61 years. Results indicated that the relationship between both extraversion and neuroticism and satisfaction with life could be partially explained by the mediating role of self‐enhancing humor. Additionally, affiliative humor proved to be a partial mediator of the relationship between neuroticism and affective well‐being. The findings of this research suggested that adaptive humor styles might be one of the mechanisms linking personality and subjective well‐being.
