Abstract

Objective: Health psychology focuses on health promotion and disease prevention. One of the factors that is related to the promotion of mental health is the sense of humor which can be influenced by the components of psychological capital. This study aims to predict the psychological capital dimensions based on the humor styles among the medical students of Tarbiat Modares University.
Method: This study is descriptive correlational and the statistical population consisted of all medical students of Tarbiat Modarres University. The participants of the study were 120 who were selected through volunteer sampling. Data were collected by the Luthans Psychological Capital Inventory and Martin's Humor Style Scale. Data were analyzed through Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis.
Results: Results showed that self-efficacy and hopefulness have a positive significant relationship with adaptive humor styles, but the relationship between self-efficacy and hopefulness with maladaptive humor styles was negative. Also, there was no significant relationship between resilience and all four humor styles.
Conclusion: By strengthening adaptive humor styles, it is possible to increase the psychological capital of students to help their mental health.

Abstract [Persian]

هدف: روانشناسی سلامت بر ارتقاء سلامت و پیشگیری از بیماری تمرکز دارد. بنابراین ، یکی از عواملی که به ارتقاء سلامت روان مربوط می شود ، حس شوخ طبعی است که می تواند تحت تأثیر مؤلفه های سرمایه روانشناختی باشد. هدف از این مطالعه ، پیش بینی ابعاد سرمایه روانشناختی (امید ، خودکارآمدی ، تاب آوری و خوش بینی) بر اساس سبک های شوخ طبعی در بین دانشجویان پزشکی دانشگاه تربیت مدرس است. روش: این مطالعه توصیفی از نوع همبستگی است. جامعه آماری شامل کلیه دانشجویان پزشکی دانشگاه تربیت مدرس ، 120 نفر به روش نمونه گیری در دسترس انتخاب شدند. داده ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه سرمایه روانشناختی لوتان و مقیاس سبک طنز مارتین جمع آوری شد. دادهها با استفاده از ضریب همبستگی پیرسون و تحلیل رگرسیون چندگانه تحلیل شدند. یافته ها: نتایج نشان داد که رابطه بین خودکارآمدی و امیدوار بودن با سبک های سازگار با طنز مثبت و معنادار است اما رابطه بین خودکارآمدی و امیدواری با سبک های ناسازگار طنز منفی و معنادار بود. همچنین بین خوش بینی و طنز چهار سبک رابطه معنی داری مشاهده نشد. بین دو سبک سازگار با طنز و تاب آوری رابطه معنی داری وجود دارد ، اما بین دو سبک ناسازگار طنز و تاب آوری رابطه معنی داری وجود ندارد. نتیجه گیری: این مطالعه نقش و اهمیت طنز را در سلامت عمومی دانشجویان نشان داد که در آنجا بین ابعاد سرمایه روانشناختی و سبک های طنز رابطه وجود داشت
