Abstract(s)
O sentido de humor é um fenómeno complexo, de natureza claramente individual, que surge intimamente ligado ao bem-estar, desempenhando um papel bastante importante na vida das pessoas, sendo reconhecido como um mecanismo útil para lidar com situações difíceis.
Dado que existem diferentes tipos de humor que se associam a diferentes respostas do indivíduo e a diferentes situações, torna-se importante conhecer as dimensões do humor, através da utilização de instrumentos fiáveis. Neste sentido, este estudo, contribui para a adaptação da MSHS (Multidimensional Sense of Humor Scale), de Thorson & Powell (1993a) para a população portuguesa.
A análise global dos resultados mostra que a adaptação para português do instrumento Multidimensional Sense of Humor Scale apresenta valores psicométricos satisfatórios, adequando-se para avaliação do sentido de humor nas suas dimensões.
To have a sense of humour has been considered, throughout time, a superior form of intelligence. In fact, the sense of humour is recognized as an important adaptive function as well as a great ability to deal with adversity. Thus, the personal sense of humour is a multidimensional construct, intimately connected with people’s well-being, which is important to study through research. In this way, to evaluate the sense of humour in Portuguese cultural context is important to adapt instruments that allow us to do so. This article intends to contribute to the adaptation of MSHS (Multidimensional Sense of Humour Scale) to the Portuguese Population. The version used in the study refers to the questionnaire by Thorson and Powell (1993a), published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology.
