The recent emergence of positive psychology gave rise to the idea to conceptualize humor from a “good character” perspective. Present constructs, however, show a “virtue gap,” and the two concepts of benevolent and corrective humor were developed to fill this gap.

The purpose of the present study was to explore this hypothesis in greater detail in a sample of 215 undergraduate students....
