Abstract in brief

  • This meta-analysis reviews 15 studies to explore how different humor styles, measured by the Humor Styles Questionnaire, are related to the Big Five personality traits, which include neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness.
  • The findings indicate that affiliative humor is strongly linked to higher extraversion and lower neuroticism, highlighting its connection to positive personality traits.
  • The study also discusses how the consistency (homogeneity) of these relationships varies across the factors, offering insights into why certain humor styles are more strongly associated with specific personality traits.]
