SYCHOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF USING HUMOUR BY TEACHERS

Abstract

The article presents the results of empiric research of peculiarities of using humour by teachers. It is revealed that coping humour is little used by teachers, however, among humour styles its constructive forms prevail: affiliative and self-enhancing ones. It means that humour is used as a means to build relationship with others and as a personal resource to cope with stress. It is empirically proved that there are reciprocal relations between humour styles and general social and psychological characteristics of teacher’s personality: peculiari- ties of coping strategies and emotional burnout characteristics. There were practically no relations identified between peculiarities of using humour and pedagogical style. Empirical explanation is provided to the classification of respondents depending on the peculiarities of using different styles of humour and characterized psychological peculiarities of each type.
