Abstract

Examines how humor is related to alternative conflict resolution strategies. It also seeks to advance understanding further by examining how respondents’ group membership (race and gender) and demographic similarity with the conflict party influence the use of humor. Significant main effects and interactions were found. In short, the results suggest that humor is related to different types of conflict management strategies and that diversity factors tend to moderate this relationship.
