Testable Hypothesis
• People ought to rate jokes with hostile or sexual humor as funnier than non-hostile or non-sexual jokes.
• If humor provides a cathartic release of tension, then people ought to find hostile humor funnier when angry
• If hostile humor releases feelings of anger, then angered people should be less aggressive if they hear hostile humor
• The greater the tension build up, the funnier the joke.
