Humor as a Coping Mechanism in Comedy Sitcoms
Manage episode 424601479 series 3577111
In this episode of "Pop-Culture Couch," I dive into the role of humor as a coping mechanism, using beloved comedy sitcoms "The Office," "Community," and "Parks and Recreation" as case studies. We'll explore how psychological theories such as Relief Theory, Benign Violation Theory, and Broaden-and-Build Theory are illustrated through humorous scenarios and character interactions in these shows.
By analyzing key scenes and character interactions, we uncover how these shows illustrate important psychological processes that help reduce stress and enhance well-being. Join me on the couch as we unpack the psychological foundations of humor in our favorite TV comedies and learn how laughter can be a powerful tool for coping with life's challenges.
