Humor Studies and Applications Psychological Well-being and Life Satisfaction Optimism, Hope, and Well-being

Abstract

Scores on the Multidimensional Sense of Humor Scale (MSHS) are shown to be related positively to a number of factors associated with psychological health, such as optimism and self esteem, and negatively with signs of psychological distress such as depression. Humor is a multidimensional construct that seems to be intimately related to quality of life.
