The Effects of High Spatial Density on Humor Appreciation: Age and Sex Differences.
Prerost, Frank J.
Social Behavior and Personality, v8 n2 p239-44 1980
To investigate the involvement of spatial and social density in the appreciation of humor, adolescents participated under conditions of high and low spatial density. High spatial density was found to significantly diminish appreciation of three humor types. Significant sex and age differences in reactivity to spatial density were also found. (Author)
