by McGee and Shevlin (2009) demonstrating that an
individual's sense of humor had a significant effect
on how the individual was perceived by others. In one

The fictitious male was described positively and, for

that he had a great sense of humor. Another group
female students read the same description except it

the description, each participant was asked to rate the
attractiveness of the man on a seven-point scale from
1 (very unattractive) to 7 (very attractive) with a score
of 4 indicating a neutral rating.
