        In order to explain humor styles based on the personality traits, 221 female and 127 male university students completed the Humor Styles Questionnaire (Martin, 1998) and the Five Factor Personality Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992). The results suggested that adaptive humor styles (including affiliative and self-enhancing styles) were correlated with Neuroticism (negatively) and with Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness and conscientiousness (positively), while the maladaptive humor styles (included self-defeating and aggressive styles) were correlated with Neuroticism (positively) and with the four big traits (negatively). Step by step regression analysis showed that personality traits could explain the variances of the humor styles in the following ways: a) Neuroticism and Extraversion explained all four styles of humor (respectively average R 2 =0.17, average R2 =0.38); b) agreeableness explained self-enhancing and aggressive styles (average R2 =0.025); c) Openness explained self-enhancing style (average R2 =0.05) and d) Conscientiousness explained affiliative, self-defeating and aggressive styles of humor (average R2 =0.02). Results were discussed based on their relations with main personality traits.       Manuscript profile

        A sample of 108 female (age mean= 25, SD= 3.5) and 97 male (age mean= 27, SD= 5.1) students selected by multistage random sampling, responded to the Humor Styles Questionnaires (Martin et al, 2003), Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al, 1985), Positive and Negative Affect Scale (Mroczek & Kolarz, 1998) and the Emotional Intelligence Scale (Schutte et al, 1998). Results indicated that the affiliative and self-enhancing humor styles were negatively correlated with negative affect, and positively correlated with life satisfaction, positive affect, and emotional intelligence. Aggressive and self-defeating humor styles were positively correlated with negative affect, and negatively correlated with life satisfaction, positive affect, and emotional intelligence. Males used more maladaptive (aggressive and self-defeating) humor styles than did females. Findings emphasize the positive correlation betweenadaptive (affiliative and self-enhancing) humor styles and emotional intelligence and subjective well-being.     Manuscript profile
