Abstract

Humor includes cognitive and emotional experience. This study aimed to examine the relationships between cognitive intelligence, emotional intelligence and humor styles. The sample of the study consisted of 319 undergraduate students. The humor styles questionnaire, The Revised Schutte Emotional Intelligence and Raven Standard Progressive Matrices Test Plus were used to obtain the research data. The results indicated that emotional intelligence positively correlated with adaptive humor styles. Cognitive intelligence had no significant relation with humor styles except affiliative humor style. Additionally, it was found that emotional intelligence predicted both affiliative and self-enhancing humor. The results were discussed in light of the relationships between humor styles, emotional intelligence and cognitive intelligence.
