Examination of Cognitive Flexibility and Positive Humor Styles in Teachers in Terms of Various Variables

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between cognitive flexibility and positive humor styles in teachers, as well as to examine the differences in cognitive flexibility and positive humor styles according to gender, marital status, and school level variables. This study was conducted based on a correlational survey design, with a total of 613 volunteer teachers participating, 332 of whom were female (52.5%). Data collection instruments included the Cognitive Flexibility Scale, the Self-Enhancing and Affiliative Humor subscales of the Humor Styles Scale, and a Personal Information Form. Pearson product-moment correlation, independent samples t-test, and one-way analysis of variance were used for data analysis. The findings revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between cognitive flexibility and positive humor styles. Cognitive flexibility and self-enhancing humor style did not differ significantly according to gender, marital status, and school level variables, but affiliative humor style varied depending on gender and marital status. Accordingly, female teachers were found to have a higher level of affiliative humor style than male teachers, and single teachers exhibited a higher level of affiliative humor style than married teachers.
