Humour…

Humour is a clear marker of successful social interactions. A wonderful ice breaker, sharing laughs. Humour, playful quick-wit is a sign of smart intelligence.

4 styles of humour – two positive, adaptive styles (affiliative & self-enhancing) & two negative, mal-adaptive styles (aggressive & self-defeating):

  • Affiliative humour is ability to enjoy jokes, share funny anecdotes and so on.
  • Self-enhancing humour is a coping mechanism, finding the funny in everything.
  • Aggressive humour disparages others by teasing, ridiculing and laughing at others.
  • Self-defeating humour is telling jokes, making fun of self. 

Affiliative humour is the only style for positive relationship satisfaction. Self-enhancing humour has no influence on relationships. All negative humour styles, had a terrible impact on companionship. 

“Good sense of humour, a creative mind & a beautiful heart is a deadly combination”!
