Abstract
Given the heterogeneity and complexity of humor, it is unknown if the age-related positivity effect applies to various types of humor in a culture that is ambivalent toward humor. We found Singapore-Chinese older-adults displayed a greater appreciation of humor than younger-adults across 4 major types of humor, despite preference differences.
