Abstract
Our study examines the role of humor within families of first year college students. Humor as a construct was broken down into two distinct categories: aggressive and prosocial. We found that aggressive and prosocial humor were significantly correlated to a host of variables including loneliness, family cohesion, and emotional coping.
