Kako bi se napravila jasna distinkcija između zdravih i nezdravih oblika humora, Martin i sur. (2003) uvode novinu u proučavanju humora predlažući klasifikaciju prema kojoj postoje četiri stila humora: afilijativni, samopoboljšavajući, agresivni i samoporažavajući. Upravo koncept stilova humora omogućava ispitivanje odnosa adaptivnih i maladaptivnih stilova s određenim elementima mentalnog funkcioniranja. Još jedan aspekt upotrebe humora koji je bio tematiziran u nizu dosadašnjih studija tiče se istraživanja spolnih razlika u korištenju humora, odnosno preferencije pojedinih stilova od strane muškaraca i žena. Cilj je ovog istraživanja bio ispitati razlike u upotrebi humora između muškaraca i žena i provjeriti u kakvom su odnosu stilovi humora s mjerama samopoštovanja i subjektivne dobrobiti, odnosno pozitivnim i negativnim iskustvima te zadovoljstvom životom. U istraživanju provedenom u obliku online upitnika sudjelovalo je 214 ispitanika, pri čemu udio žena iznosi 71%, a muškaraca 29%. Ispitanici su ispunjavali set od četiriju mjernih instrumenata sačinjen od Upitnika stilova humora, Rosenbergove skale samopoštovanja, Skale pozitivnih i negativnih iskustava i Skale zadovoljstva životom. Rezultati pokazuju kako muškarci značajno više upotrebljavaju agresivni stil humora negoli žene, dok razlike u uporabi preostalih triju stilova humora nisu pronađene. Nadalje, utvrđeno je kako je upotreba adaptivnih stilova humora (afilijativnog i samopoboljšavajućeg) praćena višim razinama samopoštovanja i doživljavanjem većeg broja pozitivnih iskustava. Pored toga, pokazalo se kako je korištenje samopoboljšavajućeg stila humora praćeno i značajno većim zadovoljstvom životom. U pogledu maladaptivnih stilova humora, pokazalo se kako je samoporažavajući stil povezan s nižim razinama samopoštovanja, učestalijim doživljavanjem negativnih iskustava, kao i nižim razinama zadovoljstva životom
Abstract (english) As a unique human characteristic, a sense of humor represents immanent and ubiquitous phenomenon that undeniably permeates and shapes our daily lives. In order to make a clear distinction between healthy and unhealthy forms of humor, Martin et al. (2003) introduce a novelty in the study of humor by proposing a classification which includes styles of humor: affiliative, self-enhancing, aggressive, and self-defeating. This concept of humor styles enables examining the relationship between adaptive and maladaptive styles with certain elements of mental functioning. Another aspect of humor that has been the subject of previous researches concerns the study of sex differences in the use of humor, ie the preference of certain styles by men and women. The aim of this study was to examine the differences in the use of humor between men and women and to examine the relationship between humor styles and measures of self-esteem and subjective well-being: positive and negative experiences and life satisfaction. The study, conducted in the form of an online questionnaire, involved 214 respondents, with the proportion of women being 71% and men 29%. Respondents completed a set of four measuring instruments made up of Humor Styles Questionnaire, Rosenberg SelfEsteem Scale, Positive and Negative Experiences Scale, and Life Satisfaction Scale. The results show that men use an aggressive style of humor significantly more than women, while differences in the use of the remaining three humor styles were not found. Furthermore, it was found that the use of adaptive humor styles (affiliative and self- enhancing) is accompanied by higher levels of self-esteem and experiencing a greater number of positive experiences. In addition, results suggest that the use of self-enhancing style of humor was accompanied by significantly higher life satisfaction. In terms of maladaptive styles of humor, self-defeating style has been shown to be associated with lower levels of self-esteem, greater number of negative experiences, as well as lower levels of life satisfaction.
