Report for: Differential effects of self-esteem and interpersonal competence on humor styles

Title	Differential effects of self-esteem and interpersonal competence on humor styles
Published in	Psychology Research and Behavior Management, October 2012
DOI	10.2147/prbm.s36967
Pubmed ID	23180973
Authors	Carmen Moran, McCosker
Abstract	In contrast with an early implicit "facilitative hypothesis" of humor, a revised specificity hypothesis predicts that the benefits of humor depend on the specific style of humor used. Information on predictors of these humor styles in turn enhances the ability to predict the effect on well-being.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 22. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 December 2022.

All research outputs

#1,492,211

of 23,383,275 outputs

Outputs from Psychology Research and Behavior Management

#50

of 583 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#9,646

of 173,606 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Psychology Research and Behavior Management

of 6 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 23,383,275 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.

So far Altmetric has tracked 583 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its peers.

Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 173,606 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
