Summary/Abstract: The cross-cultural factor invariance of the Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ) structure, andits relationships with the HEXACO personality model were analyzed in a large Spanishcommunity sample. The effect of age, gender, and social position on the observed relationshipswas also investigated. The four-factor structure of the HSQ was largely invariant compared tothe original one. Males and younger participants score higher on all four domains of the HSQ,but no relevant effect of social position is observed. The HEXACO-60 dimensions and facetspredicted between 17% and 32% of the HSQ domains. Results and discussion broadly supportthat the HEXACO personality model can be used as an adequate personality framework for theresearch and understanding of humor styles.
