Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to analyse the previous literature and identify the trend changes in studies of humour styles within four categories: psychological well-being, physical health, personality and counselling/therapy from 1995 to 2021. This systematic analysis included 65 articles published in different journals and available at SCOPUS, Taylor & Francis and PubMed databases. Results indicated that positive humour styles have a positive impact in all the four categories of study while negative humour styles affected individual’s lives negatively. Qualitative study and psychological well-being have dominated the field of humour studies. We see an increase in humour studies publication after the year 2016 with most publications appearing in 2017.
