Interesting extension of our 1993 GTVH study on joke similarity using working comedians (vs. students as in the Ruch/Attardo/Raskin study. Indeed, stand-up comedians seem to develop an increased sensitivity to joke synonymy, which prevents "joke thefts." degruyter.com/document/doi/1…


So who will offer training to Medical personell to distinguish between the different comic stiles and use them reliably correct?


Interesting thoughts on the difference between cynicism and sarcasm. They should not be all subsumed under aggressive humor.

New study on the dark tetrad traits, comic styles and wellbeing shows different results for irony, sarcasm and cynicism; i.e., humor research should keep them apart. doi.org/10.1016/j.paid…

Gibt es das auch für Wien alleine? Ich nehme an, Kärnten ist da ausgenommen.

Filip Sulejmanov and team with a new study on preference for humor structure and personality. Openness predicts liking nonsense more than fully resolvable incongruities in jokes/cartoons. A successful replication and extension. #humor #personality

Great step for @PTAD_journal; congratulations to the whole team.

We are happy to announce that PTAD is now indexed in @Scopus and the Directory of Open Access Journals @DOAJplus! #EAPA @EAPA_Science



The journal of positive psychology allows for 50 free downloads of our article on Breadth, polarity, and emergence of character strengths and their relevance for assessment (Arbenz, Stahlmann and Ruch). We dig into the nature of CS. tandfonline.com/eprint/BN5TRR3…

Happy to announce that this paper "Study on #positivepsychology from 1999-2021: A bibliometric analysis" (frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…) lists me as one of the most productive researchers in the field. Great team effort from our lab @UniHalle & collaborators (@perspsy, @fabgander, …)


New research in Supportive Care in Cancer: "Humour interventions for patients in palliative care—a randomized controlled trial"; #OpenAccess rdcu.be/c5A68 @LukasRadbruch @eckivh @AATH_Assoc @TheHumorAcademy @PennPosPsychCtr


Ich freue mich auf die Tagung zu "Psychiatrie und Humor" an der Evangelischen Akademie Tutzing (17. - 19. Februar 2023). Mein Referat zu "Ernste Heiterkeit Humor zwischen Tugend, Temperament und Therapie" ist Teil eines sehr breiten Programms. ev-akademie-tutzing.de/veranstaltung/…


Now that initial research on fulfilment in life exists, I could start applying it to myself, or? psychologytoday.com/us/blog/findin…


Bemerkenswerte Stabilität; repliziert die Umfrage anlässlich der Wienwoche 1974 (Schüler aus den Bundesländern besuchen die Hauptstadt). Modelwert war bei "Die grüßen gar nicht zurück".

Als Auslandswiener hoffe ich nur, dass @perspsy das nicht sieht … #wasseraufseinemühlen
