Gender Differences In Humor Styles And Verbal Creativity Among Students Of English At Guelma University



Authors : Mahdjoub Ahmed Assaleh . Saihi Hanane .

Abstract

Studies on gender, humor, and creativity report conflicting results across cultures. Hence, this study aims to explore gender differences in humor styles and verbal creativity among Algerian students of English, besides the broader relationship between gender, verbal creativity, and humor. It utilizes the Humor Styles Questionnaire and the Divergent Association Task on a sample of 64 students at Guelma University. The results show that women lean towards affiliative, self-enhancing, and aggressive humor, while men prefer self-defeating humor. Yet, there is no correlation between creativity and humor; the fact that women are more verbally creative plays no mediating role.
