This study aimed to examine the relationship between personality types and sense of humor and their association with teachers’ performance improvement. This descriptive study followed a correlational design. Based on Morgan’s table, a corpus of 201 elementary school teachers in Nehbandan was selected as a sample, using the stratified random sampling method. The data collection tools were the Williams and Anderson Task Performance Scale (1991), the Eysenck Personality Inventory (1975), and the Moghimi and Ramazani Sense of Humor Questionnaire (2001). The results indicated that extraversion was significantly and positively related to the teachers’ performance and sense of humor and neuroticism was significantly and negatively correlated with the teachers’ performance and sense of humor. Moreover, a significant and positive relationship was found between a sense of humor and the teachers’ performance improvement. Furthermore, the results of regression analysis demonstrated that extraversion, neuroticism, and a sense of humor could predict the teachers’ performance.

The mechanisms of human mate selection are amongst the central themes of evolutionary psychology research. Although physical attractiveness provides the basis of successful courting, it is also affected by a number of personality factors. Sense of humor is one of these factors, whose primary function is arguably to support courting. Despite the fact that the study of the evolutionary psychological functions of humor has received increasing interest during the past decade, the evolutionary background of individual humor preference is largely unknown. According to some early views of constitutional typologies (e.g., Sheldon), physique and sense of humor are linked: e.g., persons of the picnic somatotype are assumed to have an active sense of humor. We studied the relationship between humor preference and gender, the extroversion-introversion personality dimension, and physique. Our results showed that men have a stronger humor preference than women and they are more likely to apply humor within a mate selection context. Furthermore, overweight introverted persons also show stronger humor preference. These results are interpreted within the framework of adaptive strategies of mate selection.

Głusi ludzie posługujący się naturalnym językiem migowym tworzą społeczność Głuchych. Postrzegani są oni coraz częściej przez badaczy jako mniejszość językowa, kulturowa czy etniczna. Język, którym się posługują, pozwala im nie tylko na porozumiewanie się, ale też na tworzenie odrębnej kultury. Dzięki temu językowi oraz odmiennym doświadczeniom życiowym powstaje też unikatowy humor Głuchych, który odgrywa szczególną rolę, ponieważ służy spajaniu społeczności oraz kształtowaniu poczucia jedności. Artykuł pokazuje charakterystyczne tematy żartów Głuchych, do których należą: prezentowanie głuchoty jako wartości, relacja Głuchy–słyszący, żartowanie z samych siebie. W artykule humor Głuchych został przeanalizowany w odniesieniu do cech humoru etnicznego.

Deaf people who communicate by natural sign language form a Deaf community. Various researchers frequently treat them as a linguistic, cultural and ethnic minority. The language which is used by the deaf allows them not only to communicate but also it enables them to form a separate culture. Both the sign language and different life experience contribute to the development of a unique sense of humor of the deaf. It plays a special role in the deaf environment because it bonds the whole community and shapes the sense of unity. The article presents the most characteristic topics of jokes present in the deaf culture. They are as follows: presenting deafness as a value, the relationship between a deaf person and a hearing one, making fun of oneself. In the article, Deaf humor has been analyzed with reference to characteristics of ethnic humor.

Автор постулирует создание нового раздела философии, который был бы систематичным, рациональным рассуждением о мудрости. Автор называет его «софиологией», желая использовать этот термин не только в теологическом значении (как в русской традиции), но и в философском (автор считает, что английский термин wisdom research слишком далек от польского языка). Софиология делилась бы на описательную часть (которая исследовала бы то, как понимали мудрость в разных культурах и временах) и на нормативную часть, которая бы занималась вопросом, чем собственно является мудрость (что такое настоящая мудрость). Таким образом, автор стремлюeт подчеркнуть значение поучительной рефлексии и усилить роль философии в современном культурном пейзаже, в котором специалист и эксперт вытесняют мудреца.

EN

The author proposes the creation of a new branch of philosophy that would be systematic, rational reflection on wisdom. He calls it “sofiologia”, using the term in the sense of not only theological (as in Russian thought), but also philosophically (he thinks that the English term wisdom research is too far from the Polish language). Sofiologia would contain the descriptive part (investigating as wisdom is conceived in different cultures and times) and the operative part, trying to figure out what wisdom really is (what is the true wisdom). He would like to emphasize the importance of sapiential reflection and strengthen the role of philosophy in the contemporary cultural landscape, in which a specialist or an expert displaces a sage.
