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." https://t.co/UJLp1TEqvD

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.

Here's our latest paper (w/ @Ka_Brau) on the assessment of playfulness with a Hebrew version of the OLIW-questionnaire. Available open access here: https://t.co/hlQ6LnCKsV

[Willibald Ruch @perspsy]

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.

Trait cheerfulness seems to be a powerful moderator again.

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

[René Proyer @ReneProyer]

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

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. https://t.co/YUSlX0JxLj

Happy to announce that this paper "Study on #positivepsychology from 1999-2021: A bibliometric analysis" (https://t.co/rfCQ46Pm0X) lists me as one of the most productive researchers in the field. Great team effort from our lab @UniHalle & collaborators (@perspsy, @fabgander, …)

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. https://t.co/ttvOqeIqLi

Now that initial research on fulfilment in life exists, I could start applying it to myself, or? https://t.co/RWZPe1qcfj

[Willibald Ruch @perspsy]

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

Interesting read on #playfulness in higher age: "Does the self-reported playfulness of older adults influence their wellbeing? An exploratory study" https://t.co/8kWyTx287m
