laugh at the expense of others

The Present Research
Men scoring higher in PMB respond to masculinity threats by expressing prejudice against women and gay men—two groups that symbolize the antithesis of masculinity—in order to reaffirm their masculinity. Also, sexist and anti-gay humor each represent subtle, socially safe ways of expressing that prejudice. Thus, we propose that men higher in PMB express amusement with sexist and anti-gay humor (but not other forms of humor) in response to masculinity threat in order to reaffirm their masculinity. Therefore, in Experiment 1 we tested the hypothesis that men higher in PMB would rate sexist and anti-gay humor (but not other forms of disparagement humor or non-disparaging neutral humor) funnier after experiencing a threat to their masculinity.
Experiment 2 provided a replication and extension of Experiment 1, testing the hypothesis that, following a masculinity threat, men higher in PMB would rate sexist and anti-gay humor funnier because they believe it restores an accurate impression of them (i.e., reaffirms their masculinity).
We conducted both experiments using Mechanical Turk, a web service sponsored by amazon.com that allows people to complete studies posted online. Our sample was limited to residents of the United States. Mechanical Turk has been shown to be as reliable as other sampling methods

I said it wasn't real science

Social science is voodoo at best and full of bias.

I know you don't know the meaning of the word bias when it comes to science so I will return to mocking you as you deserve.
 
The leftwing socialist pigs HATE masculinity, does that mean liberals are all insecure?
 
extended the findings of Experiment 1, supporting the hypothesis that, following a masculinity threat, men higher in PMB express amusement with sexist and anti-gay humor because they believe it reaffirms their masculinity. Thus, our findings suggest that sexist and anti-gay humor serve a self-affirming function for men who possess higher PMB in situations that threaten one’s masculinity. By uncovering a novel psychological function of sexist and anti-gay humor in social settings, we hope the present research will lead to better understandings of the kinds of situations that foster its occurrence and ultimately to strategies for preventing it.

Key word SUGGESTS

Bogus biased filled claims. Social science is voodoo designed to prey on the weak minded such as yourself by fostering your deep seeded prejudice.
