Self-Deprecating Humor Linked to Greater Psychological Wellness, Study Finds
[Independent] Frequent use of self-deprecating humour has been linked to a better overall psychological wellbeing, a study has discovered.
When you hear someone making fun of themselves, you would usually assume that they’re doing so to conceal their insecurities.
However, a recent study has found that the opposite may be the case; that making yourself the butt of your jokes actually demonstrates greater levels of happiness and self-assurance.
University of Granada researchers from the Mind, Brain and Behaviour Research Centre (CIMCYC) decided to explore different kinds of humour to determine whether a person’s comedic streak is connected to the way in which they cope with anger.
