| Summary: | 碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 公共衛生學系碩士班 === 100 === Objectives: The purpose of this research is to identify how media humor information
interventions have affected to the 8th grade students in Taoyuan County, Taiwan. The
effects are including change of students’ evaluation of humorous expression,
behavioral intention of humorous expression and literacy of humor information.
Materials and Methods: This research has introduced the quasi-experimental
research design by using purposive sampling methods, selecting the 8th grade students
from one of the junior high schools in Taoyuan County (Northern Taiwan) to be the
experimental subjects for 2 weeks of activities. Questionnaires will be given to the
students prior and after the activities in order to assess further evaluations based on
results of questionnaire. Materials have included 4 individual video clips expressed
with humorous behaviours (body expressions, quick-witted reactions, self-devaluation,
and devaluating others), as well as the additional 2 video clips expressed with the
possible negative influences from humorous behaviours. Evaluations were
completed by using software SPSS (version 17.0), descriptive statistics, chi-square
tests, ANOVA, T-Test, paired T-Test, ANCOVA, Johnson-Neyman and Generalized
estimating equation (GEE).
Results: Based on the behavioural images by the future use of devaluating others,
body expressions, quick-witted reactions, the ability to judge implicit messages, as
well as the ability to differentiate between realities and delusions, this research has
indicated a significant variation according to the experimental subjects. By comparing
to the results of 2 individual groups based on the GEE analysis, the ability to judge
implicit messages yet indicates a significant difference after taking full control of any
control variable that can affect to the results of research. The remaining variables
indicate no significant difference statistically.
Conclusion: After several repeated experiments to the experimental objects, although
there is a significant and effective variation being reflected to the video-based
humorous expressions, evaluations, and the ability to verify the humorous messages;
an invalid result has in fact applied to the ability to judge implicit messages between
the 2 individual groups. As a result, this material-involved research has failed to
meet the expected effectiveness for the reason that it was not eligible for the research
hypothesis.
