Pa’ez, Seguel & Martı´nez-Sa´nchez (2013) in their study on a sample of 355 undergraduate students, examined whether humor styles accounted for incremental variance in hedonic well-being (happiness) and psychological well-being. In the study, hedonic well-being was assessed using the Lyubomirsky Subjective Happiness Scale (Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999) and psychological well-being was assessed using Ryff’s Self-report inventory (1999). Incremental validity analysis was found to be significant in case of affiliative humor, self-enhancing humor and self-defeating humor. The absence of significant role of aggressive humor in well-being was in line with previous researches which showed aggressive humor as having no strong correlation with well-being
