Hi Gil, That's a great idea! Unfortunately I'm trying to put together another conference for SPSP (on moral intuitions, probably not unrelated to put-down ...
At least someone will come and listen :) yes, there are many potential presenters. We will try to contact few of them soon, since the deadline for submission...
Hi Jesse, in my dissertation research, I examine the effects of put-down humor on cohesion in groups. So far, I conducted two experiments. Once I have finished...
Hello, all. . .I attempted to post an initial message to the group earlier this week, but I think my message went straight to Gil. Whoops! I am a Ph.D....
Hi Lisa, good to see you here :) It's interesting to see all of us scattered everywhere and in so many different programs. I don't know much about leadership...
I agree with Gil's assessment of Rod's text-- I have found it invaluable as a researcher. However, you can count the number of figures/illustrations on one...
Yes, students complain about it but he did it purpusely. It suppose to be for upper level students or graduate students. Since it has already so much...
Hope you all are enjoying the long weekend. Seems as though most of you are further along in your research, so you've probably discovered this book already,...
I have seen this book. It's a good reference book and it summarize some of the topics, but the guy that wrote the book is not a humor researcher and not all...

Hi all, I thought you might be interested in reading a book review I wrote on Rod Martin's book. It's not a comprehensive review of the book but rather mainly...
Hello! I would like to know the title of the movies being used in humor studies. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of...
Hi Deana, I don't think there are specific movies that people use. Any comedy can work, it all depends on what you do you want to teach or learn. Recently, I...
HI Deanna, I just completed a thesis project on humor and stress and used a 15 minute segment of a John Pinette DVD, I Say Nay, Nay. My group thoroughly...

Hello fellow humorologists. I have had an interest in humor for many years and I have just posted a "paper" on the web. It is accessible through the academic...
