本研究目的旨在探討國中生性別、幽默風格、嘲笑風格與同理心之間的關係，採用問卷調查研究方法，以七八年級國中學生為研究對象，有效樣本共431人，採用「中文版幽默風格量表」、「中文版嘲笑風格量表」及「同理心量表」進行資料蒐集。調查所得資料採用描述統計、獨立樣本t檢定、階層迴歸等統計方法進行分析，茲將主要研究發現分述如下：
一、不同性別之國中生的幽默風格及嘲笑風格有顯著差異。
(一)國中男生在自我提升型與攻擊型幽默風格顯著高於國中女生，親和型與自我貶抑型幽默風格分數則無顯著差異。
(二)國中男生在喜被笑與喜笑人部分顯著高於國中女生，怕被笑則無顯著差異。
二、不同性別之國中生在同理心有顯著差異，國中女生在「情感同理」、「認知同 理」及同理心總分皆顯著高於國中男生。
三、同理心在性別與幽默風格的中介效果：
(一) 同理心在國中生性別與「親和型」與「自我貶抑型」之間的完全中介效果不成立。
(二) 同理心在國中生性別與「自我提升型」幽默風格之間的部分中介效果成立，扮演壓抑性質的中介變項。
(三) 同理心在國中生性別與「攻擊型」幽默風格之間的部分中介效果成立。
四、同理心在性別與嘲笑風格的中介效果：
(一)同理心在國中生性別與「怕被笑」嘲笑風格之間的完全中介效果不成立。
(二)同理心為國中生性別與「喜被笑」之間的部分中介效果成立，扮演壓抑性質的中介變項。
(三)同理心為國中生性別與「喜笑人」之間的部分中介效果成立。
最後，根據上述研究結果進行討論並提出相關建議，做為教育實務工作者及未來研究之參考。
