| Abstract: | Humor is hypothesized to be a social activity that alters the status of the humorist positively and that of the object or victim negatively. Of the two traditionally distinguished classes of humor, “ostracizing” humor singles out a victim, with others present or absent either incidental affiliates of the humorist (and one another) or unaffected. “Affiliative” humor, on the other hand, is focused on creating or maintaining group cohesiveness, with the identity of the victim more or less incidental. |
