Humor in Communication Textbooks.

Bryant, Jennings; And Others

Communication Education, v29 n2 p125-34 May 1980

Investigates the use of humor in basic communication textbooks. Concludes that humor is used frequently to teach rather than simply to attract attention; it is of the harmless, nonsense variety and appears not to be antisocial as far as sex-role stereotypes are concerned. (JMF)
