Humor
幽默是人類特有的高層次心理功能,
過去研究發現幽默不但能緩衝壓力、調節
失敗挫折的衝撀,也是人際交往的潤滑
劑,良好的使用幽默對於個人身心健康都
有莫大的助益(Goel & Dolan, 2001; Mobbs et al., 2003; Moran et al., 2004; Watson et
al., 2007)。

幽默與心理健康
• 將痛苦、困難的情境轉換或解釋成為快樂的情境,幫助人
們適應焦慮或挫折,使我們在面對現實生活的衝突或挫折
中,得到緩和紓解。(Wolfenstein,1955; Dixon,1980;
Veatch,1998)

幽默與心理健康
• 被老師評為適應不良的兒童,比較喜歡「攻擊性」和
「反社會」的笑話。(Nicholson,1973)
• 在心理治療情境中,兒童喜歡的笑話主題,多半和他
們內心困擾或衝突有關。(Yorukoglu,1977)

能夠進行情緒的轉換(emotional Shift)

幽默與人際關係
• 可以增加團體士氣、達到凝聚團體成員的作用,更可以控

的感受呢?一群人若能為同件事開懷大笑,表示他們有共
同的生活經驗、態度或信念。(Lorenz,1963)

幽默與教學
• 小學學生在回憶作業(配對作業)表現上,發現幽默配對的
回憶成功量是優於非幽默配對的狀況。(Hauck與
Thomas,1972)
• 小學一、二年級的學生,在能自由轉台的情況下,觀看穿插
幽默場景的教學影片時間,明顯多於沒有穿插幽默場景的影
片。此外,幽默場景若以分散方式呈現,效果比密集呈現的
為佳。(Wakshlag,Day與Zillmann,1981)

問世間幽默為何物?
• 幽默是一個相當難界定的心理現象
– 1901年英哲James Sully曾說:「語言中幾乎沒有一個詞彙比這個人
人熟悉的詞更難下定義了。」
– 「為幽默下定義,是沒有幽默感的人所進行的無聊遊戲。」(王瑋,

幽默幽默你是誰─幽默的定義(2)
•幽默是對不協調、矛盾或超乎常態的刺
激,在經過推論及似是而非的理解過程
後,所產生的愉悅、放鬆的心理感覺以及
外顯的微笑或大笑反應。而這種過程之目
的在增進和諧以及增加對人生的領悟。

失諧理論(incongruity theory)
Nerhardt 「重量遽改實驗」:
在一個安全、無威脅的情境下, 預期與實際知覺出
現矛盾(失諧)時,便會產生幽默
刺激材料的「不可預測性」、「失諧性」與「幽
默與否」成高度正相關
 失諧幽默四種特質:非預期下出現、與周遭環境
不一致、不合邏輯或不被理解、太過誇張

理解-推敲理論(Comprehension Elaboration
Theory )Wyer & Collins(1992 )
理解-推敲理論區分幽默理解包含「理解」及「推
敲」的歷程。
「理解」意味我們會以先前形成的概念或基模來
處理幽默訊息,而推論出「在幽默語句裡未描述
,但卻是了解該幽默語句所需的命題」。
「推敲」則指意識的推論出「與幽默語句有關,
但不是了解該幽默語句所必要的命題」,因此,
推敲的成分包含了對人特質、事件、過去或未來
發生事件的推論。
反向合意模式(陳學志 1991,1995)
蘇東坡:反向合意謂之趣
「人們從某個既存的優勢基模快速移轉至另一個
語意反向的對立基模而產生心理的震盪(失諧)
之後,又能以逆溯推論的方式尋求一種合理化的
連結,使得這兩個原本互相排斥的基模能合理相
容共存」。

Verbal Joke
• While a great deal of the humor that we experience
on a daily basis is verbal in nature (Brownell et al.,
1983),
• We used verbal jokes instead of films, meaning that
our material was more semantic in nature.
• The cognitive processes underlying the resolution of
verbal jokes seem to be a part of executive functions
such as disambiguation, bridge inferences, and
schema shifting to reestablishment of context
(Bekinschtein et al., 2011).
20
Nonverbal jokes
• Most studies using functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) technology to study humor
processing have focused on non-verbal processing,
using, for example,
• nonverbal visual cartoons (Azim et al., 2005; Bartolo
et al., 2006; Moran et al., 2004; Samson et al., 2008,
2009; Wild et al., 2006) or humorous videos (Moran
et al., 2004; Neely et al., 2012).
• This study joins earlier studies (Bekinschtein et al.,
2011; Goel and Dolan, 2001; Watson et al., 2007) in
focusing on verbal humor processing.

Nature Neuroscience
Goel and Dolan, 2001
(UCL)
• Participants listened to riddles containing either phonological
jokes or semantic jokes, as well as a set of nonhumorous
control riddles.
• The semantic jokes induced greater activation in regions of
both the left and right temporal lobes (e.g., MTG, ITG) that are
involved in semantic processing of language.
• The Phonological jokes induced greater activation in areas of
the left frontal lobe (e.g., IFG).
• Subjects’ post-scan funniness ratings of jokes were correlated
with significantly greater activation of the vmPFC, an area
with connections to the limbic system that plays an important
role in integrating cognitive and emotion processes.

Garden path
• Garden path sentences refer to sentences that are
grammatically correct, but which readers typically
misinterpret in their first reading, leading to a
semantic dead end (i.e., incongruity).
• Readers are then required to resolve this
incongruity by rereading the sentence to construct
a sustainable interpretation (i.e., resolution of
incongruity) (Christensen, 2010, Uchiyama et al.,
2008).

Participants
• Twenty neurologically healthy volunteers [10
males and 10 females aged 20–29 years, 23.40
± 2.74 years (mean ± SD)] participated in this
study.
• They were all right-handed as determined by
the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (Oldfield,
1971) and native Mandarin speakers.
35
Stimuli
• Sixty stories in Mandarin Chinese were
selected, including twelve stories for each of
three different conditions: the funny, unfunny,
and garden path story conditions.
• Twenty-four filler stories were also included.
• Each joke structure contained two
components: the setup and the punch line.

Image analysis
• Given our a priori hypothesis based on
previous imaging studies, a region of interest
(ROI) analysis was performed (Poldrack et al.,
2008).
• According to the finding of previous studies of
humor, laughter, and reward, we used 13
hypothesis-driven ROIs with a radius of 10
mm centered at peak voxels of brain regions.

Post-scan rating:
the high versus low comprehensibility conditions
• The contrast of the high versus low
comprehensibility conditions produced greater
activation in the left SFG (MNI coordinates: -9,
2, 73) and left anterior IFG (-45, 35, 10; Z =
2.57, p < .01 uncorrected) with the use of ROIs.
43
Post-scan rating:
the high versus low funniness conditions
• The contrast of the high versus low funniness
conditions produced greater activation in the
left vmPFC (MNI coordinates: -6, 53, -11), left
amygdala (-24, -7, -23), right amygdala (24, -7,
-29), left parahippocampal gyrus (-21, -13, 26), and right parahippocampal gyrus (21, -13,
-23) with the use of ROIs.
44
Humor comprehension (IFG,
SFG)
• The association observed here between humor
comprehension and activity in the frontal
regions of the bilateral IFG and the left SFG
verifies that the main functions of incongruity
detection, semantic selection, and semantic
integration are located in this area.
45
Humor elaboration
(cortical and subcortical regions)
• The vmPFC, bilateral amygdalae and bilateral
parahippocampal gyri are related to the reward
associated with the feeling of amusement.
46
Left and right hemisperes
• The present study also reveals that the
activated areas related to humor processing are
located in both hemispheres, and in both
cortical and subcortical regions.
• This finding is consistent with earlier research
(i.e., Bartolo et al., 2006; Bekinschtein et al.,
2011; Mobbs et al., 2003).

Incongruity detection: further analysis of
surprisingness ratings
• Based on the rating scores, the contrast of the high
versus low ‘surprisingness’ conditions for the ROIs
produced greater activation in the right MTG (58, -1,
-8; BA 21, 69 voxels; Z = 3.13, p < .05 FWE
corrected) and right MFG (12, -10, 66; BA 6, 38
voxels; Z = 3.21, p < .05 FWE corrected).
• The results are consistent with those shown in Table 1
for incongruity detection, providing further support
for our account of the neural substrates associated
with the detection of incongruities in the humor
comprehension process.
Incongruity resolution: further analysis
of comprehensibility ratings
• Based on the rating scores, the contrast of the high
versus low comprehensibility conditions for the ROIs
produced greater activation in the left SFG (MNI
coordinates: -9, 47, 45; BA 8, 96 voxels; Z = 5.42, p
< .05 FWE corrected) and left IPL (-60, -49, 42; BA
40, 56 voxels; Z = 4.97, p < .05 FWE corrected).
• The results are consistent with those shown in Table 1
for incongruity resolution, providing further support
for our account of the neural substrates associated
with incongruity resolution in the humor
comprehension process.
Conjunction analysis
• In order to examine regions involved in the incongruity
detection process, we performed a conjunction analysis (using
MarsBaR and WFU PickAtlas in SPM8) of regions activated
in both the nonsensical and funny conditions.
• The conjunction analysis, masked by the main effect of
incongruity detection (p < .05 uncorrected, 10 voxels), was
performed to highlight regions of activations associated with
nonsensical and funny conditions [conjunction (nonsensicalunfunny), (funny-unfunny)].
• This analysis revealed a significant activation in the right
middle temporal gyrus (MNI coordinates: 57, 2, -11; BA 21,
56 voxels, p < .05 FDR corrected).
MTG, MFG, SFG, and IPL
• The present findings thus suggest that the neural circuit
for humor comprehension may include distinct
components for the detection of incongruity and the
resolution of incongruity, with initial incongruity
detection processed by the MTG and MFG in the right
hemisphere, followed by semantic integration and
resolution processed in the SFG and IPL in the left
hemisphere.
• These results are consistent with Jung-Beeman‟s recent
discussion of bilateral processes for comprehending
natural language (Jung-Beeman, 2005).
