Ryan, Kathryn M.; Kanjorski, Jeanne
Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v38 n9-10 p743-56 May 1998
Tested Freud's theory that sexist humor may be associated with hostility toward women. The humor of 10 sexist jokes was rated by 399 college students. Enjoyment of sexist humor was positively correlated with rape-related attitudes and beliefs, the self-reported likelihood of forcing sex, and psychological, physical, and sexual aggression in men.
