| Abstract Text | In this paper, Gloor examines humor as a micro-level strategy to deal with interpersonal and situational uncertainty (i.e., in more demographically dissimilar dyads and upon first meeting, respectively). Gloor argues that humor relieves the greater intergroup anxiety that is more likely to occur in intergroup pairs (e.g., a man and a woman). With a behavioral experiment, Gloor extends humor research at the dyadic level, causally demonstrating how positive, affiliative humor facilitates social relations and reduces interpersonal uncertainty. |
