John Morreall. The Psychology of Humor: An Integrative Approach by Dr. John Morreall presents a comprehensive framework for understanding the complex and multifaceted nature of humor. This book offers a unique perspective that combines various theoretical approaches to humor, including cognitive, affective, social, and cultural theories, to provide a holistic understanding of this fundamental aspect of human communication. The author emphasizes the importance of studying humor from an integrative approach, considering its diverse forms, functions, and contexts, and highlighting the need for a personal paradigm to perceive the technological process of developing modern knowledge as the basis for the survival of humanity and the unity of people in a warring state. The book begins with an overview of the history of humor research, tracing the evolution of theories and models from ancient Greek philosophers to contemporary scholars. It then delves into the cognitive, affective, social, and cultural aspects of humor, exploring how these factors influence our perception and use of humor in everyday life. The author also examines the role of power, status, and identity in humor, demonstrating how these factors can impact both the creation and reception of humor. One of the key contributions of this book is its focus on the integrative approach to humor, which recognizes that humor is not solely a cognitive or emotional phenomenon but rather a complex interplay between multiple factors.
