Özet
A positive psychological point of view that humour is the source of resilience shows its effect in social crises as well. Humour, which activates positive emotions such as joy and amusement, was examined in the context of the cultural and social characteristics of the Turkish society in this study. The main discussion of the study was carried out within the framework of the question, ‘What is the position of the humour in the incidents which caused the social crises in Turkey?’. While the existence of an apolitical generation under the influence of neoliberal transformation in Turkey in the near term was talking, humour began to be used as a tool by this generation as a different social response. This study aimed to contribute to the field of Positive Psychology and humour by making a description of contemporary discourse through its conceptual framework that evaluates classical and current research on humour from a positive psychological perspective. In this study, humour content shared on Twitter after 2010, when the social crises was experienced in Turkey, was investigated by a descriptive analysis method. The themes determined in accordance with the social structure through this analysis were determined as answers to the question of when and what Turkish society laughed at. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
