Selective Exposure to Educational Television Programs as a Function of Differently Paced Humorous Inserts.
Wakshlag, Jacob J.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v73 n1 p27-32 Feb 1981
Of three educational programs, two were manipulated to contain: (1) no humor; or (2) humor in a slow pace, an intermediate pace, or a fast pace. It was found that the presence of humor greatly facilitates selective exposure to an educational television program. (Author/GK)
