Creativity and Humor: Integration and Incongruity.
Murdock, Mary C.; Ganim, Rita M.
Journal of Creative Behavior, v27 n1 p57-70 1993
This descriptive study compared 13 definitions of humor and 11 theories of humor as related to creativity. It found two core definitional themes (integration and incongruity) and three core theoretical categories (play/spontaneity, release/relief, and incongruity/unexpected relationships). Tables provide comparative analyses of definitions and theories. (DB)
