The Sense Of Humor
Researchers have theorized that a sense of humor is made up of six basic variables:
- the cognitive ability to create or understand jokes
- an appreciation, and enjoyment of jokes
- behavior patterns of joking and laughing
- cheerful or humorous temperament,
- a bemused attitude about life
- a strategy of using humor in the face of adversity.
A sense of humor, then, can mean either being funny or enjoying funny things.
