Подчеркивается необходимость четкого разделения понятий чувства юмора и стилей юмора, которые могут представлять единую систему, но изучать эти феномены можно достаточно независимо. Цель – выявить взаимосвязи между используемыми стилями юмора, социабельностью как личностной устремленностью к социальному взаимодействию и аспектами самоотношения на студенческой выборке. Выборку составили 48 студентов медицинского вуза в возрасте 18–24 лет. Применены: опросник стилей юмора Р. Мартина; методика диагностики социабельности личности; тест-опросник самоотношения; прогрессивные матрицы Равена. Использованы методы корреляционного, кластерного анализа, анализ сравнения средних. Стили юмора сближаются с понятиями когнитивных инструментов, стратегий работы с информацией, копинг-стратегий, помогающих снижать когнитивную / эмоциональную уязвимость перед стрессами. Проанализированы исследования, изучающие взаимосвязь стилей юмора с целым рядом переменных: оценкой ситуации, когнитивной гибкостью, эмоциональным интеллектом, самооценкой, психологическим дистрессом, одиночеством, предрасположенностью к депрессии, перфекционизмом. Результаты исследования подтверждают, что использование адаптивных стилей юмора может быть связано с хорошей стрессовой устойчивостью, средним или высоким эмоциональным интеллектом, когнитивной гибкостью, верой в персональный успех, направленностью на общение и взаимодействие с другими, позитивным самоотношением и т.д. Неадаптивные стили юмора в целом чаще обнаруживают связь с психологическим дистрессом, когнитивной негибкостью, невысокой социабельностью, противоречивым самоотношением. Однако, результаты (как и результаты некоторых других исследований) скорее заставляют задуматься о сложной и противоречивой природе связей между использованием стилей юмора, ситуационным контекстом, личностными особенностями, мотивацией, способностью самоконтроля и т.д. Определена важность развития адаптивных стилей юмора как ресурса для повышения самооценки, улучшения межличностных отношений и адаптации студентов в учебной среде.

Sense of humor and humor styles are different concepts that can be studied independently. Humor styles are related to cognitive tools, information processing strategies, and coping strategies that help to reduce cognitive or emotional vulnerability to stress. They are associated with situation assessment, cognitive flexibility, emotional intelligence, self-esteem, psychological distress, loneliness, vulnerability to depression, and perfectionism. This research focused on the correlation between the humor styles, sociability, and self-esteem in university students. The sample consisted of 48 medical students aged 18–24 years. They were subjected to the methods of R. Martin’s Humor Styles Questionnaire, diagnosing personality sociability, the Self-Attitude Test Questionnaire, and Raven’s Progressive Matrices. The obtained data underwent correlation, cluster, and mean comparison analyses. Adaptive humor styles proved to be associated with high stress resilience, average or high emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, belief in personal success, a good social orientation and interaction, and positive self-esteem. In contrast, maladaptive humor styles were associated with psychological distress, cognitive inflexibility, low sociability, and contradictory self-attitude. Humor style, situational context, personality traits, motivation, and selfcontrol demonstrated complex and contradictory correlations. Based on this study, adaptive humor styles seem to be a resource that contributes to better self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, and adaptation to the new academic environment.
