Abstract
The Frog Test: A Tool for Measuring Humor Theories' Validity and Humor Preferences.
Highlights
For over a century multiple theoretical accounts proposed different sets of necessary and sufficient conditions for distinguishing humorous from non-humorous stimuli
Proponents of the different theoretical accounts often show a high degree of conviction, suggesting introspection might not be the best tool for judging the validity of humor theories
That is because an invalid account would presumably distract its receivers’ attention away from the elements of the joke they found humorous in the first place
Summary
For over a century multiple theoretical accounts proposed different sets of necessary and sufficient conditions for distinguishing humorous from non-humorous stimuli. Proponents of the different theoretical accounts often show a high degree of conviction, suggesting introspection might not be the best tool for judging the validity of humor theories.
