왜 사람들은 역기능적 유머스타일을 사용하는가? : 성격 및 공감과의 관련성 분석 = Why do people utilize dysfunctional humor styles? : Analysis of their relationship with personality and empathy

국문 초록 (Abstract)

유머 유형에는 사회적, 자기고양적, 공격적, 자멸적 등의 4 유형이 있는데, 앞의 두 유형은 정신건강과 대인관계적응에 유리하지만 뒤의 두 유형은 오히려 역기능적이다. 풍부한 유머감각을 왜 역기능적 유머스타일로 발현시키는 것일까? 그 해답을 얻기 위해 본 연구에서는 기능적 유머와 역기능적 유머의 차이를 성격 및 공감과의 관련성을 통해 분석해보았다. 389명의 사이버대학교 학생을 대상으로 유머감각, 유머스타일, 성격 5요인, 공감의 자료를 모아 분석했을 때, 순기능적 유머스타일에는 외향성, 개방성, 정서공감이 정적 영향을 미쳤고, 역기능적 유머스타일에는 성실성과 인지공감이 부적 영향을 미쳤다. 이 결과는, 유쾌하고 외향적인 사람들과 정서적으로 교감하는 것이 순기능적 유머스타일을 촉진시키는 반면, 인내심 및 타인조망의 부족은 역기능적 유머스타일을 촉진시킬 것임을 시사한다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There are four types of humor: social, self-enhancing, aggressive, and self-defeating. The first two types are beneficial for mental health and interpersonal adjustment, but the latter two types can be considered dysfunctional. Why do people with a sense of humor develop a dysfunctional humor style? To find the answer to this question, this study analyzed the differences between functional and dysfunctional humor through the relationship between personality and empathy. We conducted a correlation and regression analysis on data from 389 online university students. The results showed that extraversion, openness, and emotional empathy had a positive effect on functional humor style.
Conscientiousness and cognitive empathy had a negative effect on dysfunctional humor style. These results suggest that empathetic communication with pleasant and outgoing people would promote a good functional humor style, while a lack of patience and perspective-taking ability would lead to a dysfunctional humor style.
