This document appears to be a survey assessing attitudes towards humor in stressful situations. It asks the respondent to provide their age and gender, then rate 16 statements about appreciating humor in different stressful contexts like receiving bad news, emergencies, job interviews, medical diagnoses, and funerals. The ratings are on a 5-point scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The survey was created by 4 students at QUT for a class on scale development in psychology.
