The reliability and the validity of the DSDHS Turkish version were investigated in this study. A total of 407 individuals participated in this study, 269 (66.09%) females and 138 (33.91%) males, with a mean age of 26.37\u00a0years (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">SD<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 9.28). The Turkish version of the DSHDS was produced using a back translation process. The construct validity of the DSHDS was examined using exploratory structural equation modeling (CFI = .989, TLI = .982, RMSEA = .063, SRMR = .028) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFI = .945, TLI = .927, RMSEA = .073, SRMR = .073), with satisfactory fit indices. The association between the DSHDS\u2019s subscales (deleterious and benign) with psychological distress (stress, anxiety, depression), humor-based coping, and aggression was investigated for criterion-related validity. Aggression, aggressive humor, self-defeating humor, stress, sadness, anxiety, and coping-humor were all positively correlated with deleterious self-directed humor. Aggression, self-enhancing humor, aggressive humor, self-defeating humor, participative humor, and humor as a coping mechanism were all positively correlated with benign self-directed humor. The results of the analyses indicate acceptable internal consistency and construct reliability. The results provide satisfactory evidence of the validity and reliability of the DSDHS Turkish form.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00332941261478819","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]],"date-time":"2026-08-19T05:06:26Z","timestamp":1787115986000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dual Self-Directed Humor, Humor-Based Coping, Humor Styles, Psychological Distress, and Aggression: Turkish Validation of the Dual Self-Directed Humor Scale"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1391-8844","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Burak Baran","family":"Yavuz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, I\u015f\u0131k University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9821-671X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Osman","family":"Urfa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Counseling Psychology, Ministry of National Education"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Berke \u0130nan","family":"Demirer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arel University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beyza","family":"\u00d6zener","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, MEF University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irmak","family":"Alaca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bournemouth University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bet\u00fcl Deniz","family":"Nar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, MEF University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0276073"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-200012150-00014"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-12-288950-9.50008-0"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/bs15030252"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/humor-2022-0065"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.63.3.452"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10705510701301834"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/HUMOR.2007.011"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijintrel.2011.10.001"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/S15328007SEM0902_5"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4135\/9781446221556"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0748175614531796"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_14_1","volume-title":"Scale development: Theory and applications","author":"DeVellis R.
