Abstract

24 photographs representing four types of humor (aggression, superiority, incongruity, and the unexpected) were redrawn as cartoons and rated by 361 college students. Photographs were judged more humorous than cartoons, with additional effects related to type of humor and sex. The belief that an event really occurred, as found in photographs, may be important for effective visual humor.
