          Abstract

          Resumo: Neste artigo, defendemos que o humor, especificamente em piadas, facilita o ensino da língua espanhola para estudantes brasileiros. Para tanto, apresentamos argumentos em favor da importância da utilização do humor para o ensino e a aprendizagem; mostramos como a teoria da relevância (SPERBER; WILSON, 1986, 1995) nos auxilia a compreender como as pessoas compreendem piadas; argumentamos que o docente deve prever possíveis traduções feitas pelos alunos para utilizar piadas em sala de aula apropriadamente; e, por fim, analisamos três piadas baseando-nos na classificação de Yus (2010). Concluímos que piadas transferíveis têm mais chances de serem compreendidas pelos estudantes, quando comparadas com piadas substituíveis e desafiadoras.

          Abstract: In this article, we argue that humor, namely in jokes, helps teaching Spanish to Brazilian students. Therefore, we show some arguments establishing how humor is important for teaching and learning. Then, we show how relevance theory (SPERBER; WILSON, 1986, 1995) can help us to understand how people understand jokes. Next, we argue that the teacher must to anticipate possible student's translations in order to use jokes appropriately in class. Finally, we analyze three jokes based on the Yus’ (2010) classification. We conclude that the students will comprehend more easily transferable jokes than replaceable and the challenging ones.

          The role of positive emotions in positive psychology. The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions.

          In this article, the author describes a new theoretical perspective on positive emotions and situates this new perspective within the emerging field of positive psychology. The broaden-and-build theory posits that experiences of positive emotions broaden people's momentary thought-action repertoires, which in turn serves to build their enduring personal resources, ranging from physical and intellectual resources to social and psychological resources. Preliminary empirical evidence supporting the broaden-and-build theory is reviewed, and open empirical questions that remain to be tested are identified. The theory and findings suggest that the capacity to experience positive emotions may be a fundamental human strength central to the study of human flourishing.

            Mood effects on person-perception judgments.

            How does mood affect the way we learn about, judge, and remember characteristics of other people? This study looked at the effects of mood on impression formation and person memory. Realistic person descriptions containing positive and negative details were presented to subjects experiencing a manipulated happy or sad mood. Next, impression-formation judgments were obtained, and subjects' recall and recognition of details of the characters were assessed. Results showed that subjects spent longer learning about mood-consistent details but were faster in making mood-consistent judgments. Overall, happy subjects formed more favorable impressions and made more positive judgments than did sad subjects. Both cued recall and recognition memory were superior for mood-consistent characteristics. Positive mood had a more pronounced effect on judgments and memory than did negative mood. These findings are discussed in terms of recent theories of mood effects on cognition, and the likely implications of the results for everyday person-perception judgments are considered.
