Abstract
Three samples (English, Hungarian and bilingual speakers, N = 91) were asked to rate 32 jokes covering various topics. Funniness ratings revealed several between- and within-group differences. Hungarians perceived jokes with ethnic stereotypes to be funnier than did either bilingual or English speakers. Bilinguals with Hungarian dominance rated jokes presented in Hungarian higher than jokes presented in English. No such preference was observed in bilinguals with English dominance. The implications of the findings to multicultural research and clinical practice are discussed.
