AB This study examined the relationship between humor styles, positive personality (optimismand self-esteem), social support and both subjective and psychological well-being. Structural equation modelling was used with a sample of 468 adults; some had a good health status while others sufered from diferent medical conditions. The best model is the one that proposes that humor styles were associated with SWB and PWB through personalitycharacteristics and social support. This model indicated that humor styles had an indirectefect on SWB through optimism and an indirect efect on PWB through self-esteem. Thecomponent of self-oriented humor explained well-being to a greater extent than the component oriented towards interpersonal relations. However, the relationships between the variables included in the model depended on individual diferences in gender and health status. Results showed that self-enhancing humor and self-defeating humor predicted SWB through optimism and predicted PWB through self-esteem and social support for women and healthy individuals. Practical implications of the present fndings are discussed.
