Abstract

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je provjeriti ulogu humora u stresnoj situaciji te ispitati razliku u doživljavanju negativnog afekta kod studenata s izraženim i s manje izraženim samopodržavajućim stilom humora. Provedeno je online istraživanje kvazieksperimentalnog nacrta, u kojem je sudjelovalo 235 studenata. Slučajnim odabiromsu raspodijeljeni u jednu od tri skupine. Sve tri skupine su na početku gledale dio dokumentarne emisije koja prikazuje avionsku nesreću i nakon toga su ispunjavale skalu PANAS. Prva je skupina zatim gledala video snimku stand-up nastupa komičara na temu aviona i avionskih nesreća (humor kongruentan sa situacijom koju su prvo gledali), druga je gledala video snimku stand-up komičara na temu hrane (humor nekongruentan sa situacijom koju su gledali), a treća skupina je gledala neutralan video o hrani. Nakon toga su svi sudionici ponovno ispunjavali PANAS. Rezultati su pokazali da se u sve tri skupine negativni afekt smanjio između druge i treće točke mjerenja, no suprotno hipotezi, nije bilo razlike u negativnom afektu između skupina. Također, u zadnjoj točki mjerenja nije postojala razlika u razini negativnog afekta između studenata s izraženijim i manje izraženim samopodržavajućim stilom humora, što nije u skladu s našom hipotezom.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this research was to examine the role of humour in a stressful situation and the difference in the perspective of negative and positive affect between people high on self-enhancing humour and the ones low on self-enhancing humour. Online quasi-experimental research was conducted, and the participants were 235 university students. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups. All three groups watched a part of documentary series depicting a plane crash, followed by filling out the PANAS questionnaire. The first group then watched a stand-up comedy video about planes and the crashes (congruent situation), the second watched a stand-up comedy video about food (incongruent situation) and the third watched a neutral video about food. Afterwards, they once more filled out the PANAS questionnaire. Results showed that in all three groups, negative affect significantly decreased in regard to the second and third measurement points, but there was no significant difference between the groups. There was no statistically significant difference in the levels of negative affect in the last measurement point between the students high on self-enhancing humour and the students low on self-enhancing humour, which is not in accordance with our hypothesis.
