| Test
Catalog
Over
the past century, social and behavioral scientists have constructed
questionnaires, surveys, tests, and other measures to assess
humor appreciation and creation as well as humor-related behavior.
Historically, these tests have varied in quality although,
in recent years, they have become more rigorous in their development
and application. Enter here for the ISHS test catalog. For
each test, you will find information on authorship and test
design along with references to key articles involving the
measure. For several tests, you will find online links to
the actual research tool, and in some cases, manual pages
that can be downloaded. ISHS does not endorse any particular
test, and investigators should determine whether a test is
appropriate for their own scholarly research. |

| Online
Classroom
Holy
Names University is currently invetigating an online class
for ISHS that would allow advanced researchers and students
to interact and exchange ideas in a virtual classroom setting.
As part of the online classroom, students would have access
to HNU's electronic library collection, including library
search tools and the full text of selected journals, including
HUMOR: International Journal of Humor Research. Other universities
and colleges offer online classes that may be of interest
to students of humor, and you may choose to enroll in one
of these courses. |
