The study aimed to investigate relationship between humor styles
and interpersonal relationships in university students. It was
hypothesized that: there would be a relationship between humor
styles and interpersonal relationships in university students; humor
styles are likely to predict interpersonal relationships in university
students; there would be gender differences in humor styles and
interpersonal relationships. The sample consisted of 196 students
from two Universities of Lahore. Humor Style Questionnaire
(Martin, Puhlik-Doris, Larsen, Gray & Weir, 2003) and Interpersonal
Relationship Questionnaire (Callaghan, 2006) were used for
assessment. Data were analyzed by using Pearson product moment
correlation, hierarchical regression analysis and independent
sample t-test. Results revealed significant relationship between
humor styles and interpersonal relationships. Affiliative humor
style predicted interpersonal relationships negatively whereas selfdefeating humor style predicted interpersonal relationships
positively. Men used more aggressive humor styles compared to
women but they did not differ on other humor styles. Findings
highlight significance of humor in the quality of interpersonal
relationships.
