The Dynamics of the Relationship between Humor and Benevolence as Values

This study provides significant information regarding the descriptions and definitions of values revised by Schwartz in 2012, where values can be displayed on a circular continuum of motivational dynamic relationships. One 46 items online questionnaire (assessing the perception of values) was administered to 220 participants from the West side of Romania. The 46 items instrument presented a strong internal consistency (an alpha coefficient of .839). This study provides information regarding the inter classes dynamic associations between benevolence as a self-transcendence value and humour as an openness to change value. Findings and conclusions are discussed.
