Notes: According to reviews by Goodchilds (1972) and Lieberman (1977) of research on humor, the least studied component of the humorous event is the humorous person. Results of two studies investigating the relation between individual differences in self-monitoring and humor production are reported. In the first study, subjects completed a self-report measure of humorousness, captioned as many cartoons as possible within five minutes, and performed a three-minute monologue. The second study involved a group-discussion task. As predicted, high self-monitors compared to low self-monitors rated themselves as more humorous, generated more humorous cartoon captions, produced more humorous monologues, and were nominated by group participants as having made more witty remarks. The humorousness of the high self-monitors was discussed in terms of control of affective display and mastery of interpersonal skills required to initiate and maintain social interaction.

Notes: Abstract This study examines aggregate-cell interactions in a newly applied neutrophil monolayer system, as an in vitro model of rheumatoid inflammation. Insoluble and soluble immunoglobulin G (IgG) aggregates were combined with rheumatoid factor (RF) to produce IgO-RF complexes. The presence of RF did not significantly change the uptake of the insoluble aggregates by neutrophils as measured in the monolayer system. Neutrophils exposed to these aggregates showed significantly (P〈 0.05) greater uptake than those exposed to soluble aggregates, and the presence or absence of serum did not change these results. Increasing concentrations of radiolabeled aggregates to 1.5 mg/ml and cells to 5 × 106 neutrophils/ml increased cell-associated radioactivity. Addition of cytochalasin B to 5 mg/ml progressively depressed cell-associated radioactivity. Gold, but not aspirin, in therapeutic concentrations seemed to suppress aggregate uptake. This system offers a method for quantitatively assaying aggregate uptake which may be an important component of the rheumatoid inflammatory process.
