Bill, Brigitte; Naus, Peter
Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v27 n11-12 p645-64 Dec 1992
Studied the role of humor, gender, and sexist attitudes toward women in the interpretation of sexist incidents. Among 30 male and 30 female Canadian college students, perceiving sexist incidents as humorous was associated with seeing the incidents as less sexist and more acceptable. Gender did not affect the interpretation. (JB)
