Humorous Communication Components Sample Clauses

Humorous Communication Components. In an early treatment for humor in intergroup contexts, Xxxxxxxx (1972) discussed four major variables for theoretical considerations: The first is the actor; that is, the individual or group that initiates the humor. Second the audience is the party that experiences or is exposed to the humor. The third variable is the subject or butt of the humor: about whom is the humor? at whom is it aimed? [...] Judgment of the humor is the final variable and constitutes the evaluative element. The question posed is how the humor actually is perceived or judged by the audience, apart from the content of the humor or the intentions of the actor. (p. 115) From a communication research perspective, the interactions between these variables can be considered under a more comprehensive framework. The transactional model of human communication (Xxxxxxxx, 1970; Xxxxxxx & XxxXxxx, 1966) provides a such conceptual framework for the current study to understand humor in intergroup contexts. At the most basic level, intergroup humor involves sender (actor), message (subject), receiver (audience), and interpretation (judgment). The characteristics of the sender (e.g., group membership), the message (e.g., stereotype joke target), and the receiver (e.g., group membership) can all have some influence over the outcome (message interpretation) of the process, possibly both main and interaction effects. In addition to the subject of the humor, the content valence of the humor is also an important variable. Specifically, a stereotype joke can be based on a positive- or a negative-valence stereotype about the target group. The content valence, as an important element of a message, may also influence audience judgment about the humor. Furthermore, the judgment of humor can lead to differential evaluations about the actor. This interpersonal evaluation, together with the judgment of humor, can influence the affective and the cognitive state of the audience (i.e., interpersonal anxiety and attitudinal agreement with the message). From an intergroup contact perspective, audience’s affective and cognitive variations can further influence their perceptions about the actor’s group as a whole (i.e., generalized group-level attitudes based on specific individual contact; XxXxxxxx et al., 2016). Disparagement humor defined by Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx (2008) as “. . . remarks that (are intended to) elicit amusement through the denigration, derogation, or belittlement of a given target (e.g., individuals. s...
