Abstract
Adult participants (n=200) of varying political opinions completed the Humor Styles Questionnaire (assessing the 4 humor styles: affiliative, self-enhancing, self-defeating and aggressive humor) and a political demographic questionnaire. Aggressive humor (inclination to use humor to disparage others) was positively correlated with past and current support for Donald Trump.
