摘要: 幽默在社会交往与交流过程中具有十分重要的促进作用,但是个体对事物是否有趣、因何发笑的基本因素尚未形成统一的理论解释。根据幽默的产生与特征研究而形成的诸多心理学理论,可以从中提炼出幽默产生的五个基本因素:惊喜、同时性、优越感、违反性评价和有利于良性评价的条件。其中同时性、违反性和良性评价同时具备可以有效区分幽默与非幽默。基于以上因素可以较好地解释幽默的来源、预测条件和适应性优势。
Abstract: Humor plays a very important role in promoting social interaction and communication, but the basic factors of whether something is funny and why individuals laugh have not formed a unified theoretical explanation. According to a lot of psychological theories formed by the research on the generation and characteristics of humor, we can extract five basic factors of humor: surprise, simultaneity, superiority, violation evaluation and conditions conducive to positive evaluation. Simultaneity, violation and positive evaluation can effectively distinguish humor from non-humor. Based on the above factors, we can better explain the source, prediction conditions and adaptive advantages of humor.
