The Humor Research Team received an award from
the New England Psychological Association at the 2005 Annual Meeting. |
| This Research Team studies psychological aspects of humor.
Our work consists of collecting humorous stories, jokes, anecdotes, and
cartoons so that we can see how different people react to them. Students
on the Team complete library research to discover what other researchers
have found, help plan the studies, and produce written reports of the results.
Our team members have made quite a number of presentations at various
conferences, including the National Conference on Undergraduate Research,
University of Scranton Psychology Conference, and the Eastern Colleges
Psychology Conference. Several students have continued their work in independent
study and as honors projects in the past. A number of our graduates have
entered master's and doctoral programs. |
This is a fairly accurate rendition of how students
on our research team react to some of the jokes we encounter. (With thanks
to Edvard Munch).
