- W609909989 abstract "In Comparison to other psychological topics, research into humour is relatively limited,despite humour being a ubiquitous phenomenon and an important coping tool. The fewstudies that have been performed have mainly adopted the approach of quantifying humourusing psychometric measures. The inconsistent findings of these studies prompted thestarting point of this thesis, which replicates a study testing the stress moderating effects ofhumour according to various psychometric measures. This replication, which produced nonsignificantresults, raised important questions on the effectiveness of this methodology andinitiated a shift from a positivist to a constructivist paradigm, which subsequently shaped thefocus of the thesis.The thesis presents a study of people's use of humour as a means of coping with stressand difficulty, using reversal theory as a conceptual framework. The intention was togenerate a deeper and more coherent understanding of the processes underlying copinghumour and to work towards developing a theory of coping humour based on experientialevidence. The method of approach was an empirical, qualitative investigation and analysiswithin a constructivist paradigm. The main data presented are interviews in which thediscussion of coping humour experiences was encouraged.A repeated content analysis, guided by the principles of grounded theory, was essentialin uncovering layers of meaning in the phenomenological data. This led to an interpretativeaccount of coping humour, expressed in the form of a model. The model of coping humourcontains six dynamically interacting elements, which offer a criterion for coping humour towork effectively. The model's constituent elements expand existing theories of humour bygiving them greater depth and coherence. Furthermore, the model can operate as aninterpretative framework, accommodating the unique variation of each episode of copinghumour.The main contribution of this thesis is to provide a model of coping humour that offers aworking theory substantiated by experiential evidence that is both generative and evolving.A further contribution is to highlight weaknesses within current measures of humour, and tooffer suggestions for improvement based on the more realistic and meaningful portrayal ofhumour that has been generated." @default.
