Abstract
Self-directed demeaning ethnic humor is hypothesized to represent eith er a means of self-deprecation or a stance of disidentifying with one' s own group of origin. Compendia of published Yiddish humor were exami ned to empirically test competing conceptualizations of Jewish wit. Re sults are analyzed in the context of the social milieu of the publicat ion samples.
