Sojourn students’ humor styles as buffers to achieve resilience
چکیده انگلیسی

Resilience, which means adjustment under stress, is crucial for sojourn students, who are likely to experience acculturative stress. One possible way of upholding adjustment and resilience is the students’ humor practice. Essentially, such practice is possibly able to buffer the stress to achieve resilience. The possibility is the focus of the present study of 215 students coming from Mainland China to study in a university in Hong Kong. Results show that the study and cultural aspects of acculturative stress were most harmful to the student's adjustment. Furthermore, the student's affiliative humor style was most vital in sustaining adjustment and accomplishing resilience under various kinds of stress. These results highlight the merit of affiliation as a principal salutogenic factor derived from humor.


► The sojourn student's affiliative humor tended to sustain life satisfaction.
► This sustaining tended to increase with the student's study hassles experienced.
► The sojourn student's affiliative humor tended to reduce depressed mood.
► This reduction tended to be greater with the student's more experience of various hassles.
