國中階段的青少年正處於角色認同/混淆的發展危機，得到同儕認同對他們而言是最重要的事，而幽默、嘲笑與攻擊行為都是在他們日常生活的人際互動中可能隨時會運用或面對的，甚至牽動著是否能擁有令人滿意的人際關係的重要關鍵。本研究旨在探討國中生幽默風格、嘲笑風格及攻擊行為各自的內涵及三者間的關係。
本研究以台灣地區1472名國中生為研究對象，採用陳學志、詹雨臻（2009）翻譯編製的中文版幽默風格量表（HSQ-TW）、中文版嘲笑風格量表（PhoPhiKat-TW scale），以及陳盈旬（2008）翻譯修訂的少年攻擊行為評估量表作為研究工具，資料分析使用描述統計、變異數分析、相關分析與迴歸分析處理，研究結果如下：
一、不同性別的國中生在幽默風格、嘲笑風格與攻擊行為表現上有顯著差異。
（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，國中女生則在親和型幽默風格分數顯著高於國中男生。
（二）國中男生在喜笑人部分顯著高於國中女生，怕被笑與喜被笑則無顯著差異。
（三）國中男生在純粹的外顯攻擊、工具式攻擊以及反應式攻擊的行為表現上皆顯著高於國中女生。
二、國中生的幽默風格及嘲笑風格能夠有效預測攻擊行為，其中以攻擊型幽默風格、喜笑人具有最佳的解釋力。
三、國中生的幽默風格能夠有效預測嘲笑風格，其中以自我貶抑型幽默風格對怕被笑、喜被笑及喜笑人三種嘲笑風格皆具有解釋力。
最後，根據本研究之主要發現提出若干意見，以提供教育輔導及未來研究之參考。

Youths in junior high school are in the developmental crisis of role identity and confusion. It is the most important for them to get peer group’s identity. Humor styles, teasing and aggressive behavior are strategies they will use in daily human relation. These strategies are key points that decide if youths have satisfying human relation or not. This study aims to understand the contents of humor styles, gelotophobia(the fear of being laughed at), gelotophilia(the joy of being laughed at), katagelasticism(the joy of laughing at others) and aggressive behavior of junior high school students, and the relationship of these three.
Researcher used Hsueh-Chih Chen and Yu-Chen Chan’s HSQ-TW and PhoPhiKat-TW scale, and Ying-Xun Chen’s Chinese aggressive scale to acquire the data of humor styles, gelotophobia, gelotophilia, katagelasticism and aggressive behavior of 1472 junior high school students in Taiwan. Research data are analyzed by Descriptive Statistics, Analysis of Variance, Analysis of Correlation and Analysis of Regression. The results were:
1. Junior high school students with different gender showed significantly differences in the scores of humor styles, gelotophobia, gelotophilia, katagelasticism and aggressive behavior.
a. Male junior high school students showed significantly higher self-enhancing humor and aggressive humor than female students, while female students showed significantly higher affiliative humor than male students.
b. Male students showed significantly higher katagelasticism than female students. There were no significantly gender differences in gelotophobia and gelotophilia.
c. Male students showed significantly higher overt aggression, instrumental aggression and reactive aggression than female students.
2. Junior high school students’ humor styles, gelotophobia, gelotophilia and katagelasticism have significant prediction to their aggressive behavior, especially students with aggressive humor and katagelasticism have the most prediction.
3. Junior high school students’ humor styles have significant prediction to their gelotophobia, gelotophilia and katagelasticism, especially students with self-defeating humor have the most prediction to gelotophobia, gelotophilia and katagelasticism.
