Abstract
This study examined whether humor savvy, an individual's navigation of humor in conversation, is related to their negative affectivity. Individuals who scored higher on humor savvy were shown to have lower levels of overall aggression, anger, and worry, while also reporting higher levels of natural humor appreciation and production.
