Abstract
This correlational study classified 63 black participants into early and advanced racial identity groups using the CRIS; their humor appreciation/ perception were measured. MANOVA analysis revealed that advanced stages use humor significantly more and perceive aggressive humor as more affiliative and self-enhancing; aggressive humor can aid in coping with racism.
