Abstract
This study examined the influence of gender, attitudes towards women, gender identification and comedic intention on the appreciation of sexist humor. Participants (n=38) preferred prosocial over antisocial sexist humor. Overall, male participants found sexist humor to be funnier. Male participants with low gender identification preferred antisocial sexist humor.
