Evaluation of The Relationship Between Drone Pilots and Humor in Türkiye

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the sense of humour of drone pilots depending on the amount of time they have used the drones, the sort of instruction they have gotten, and their educational levels. The study covers 148 male drone pilots with drone education backgrounds. The Humour Styles Questionnaire is used to collect data for this study. The specified statistics, reliability analysis and MANOVA analyses were employed to analyse the collected data. As a consequence of these analyses, there was no significant statistical difference between the humour questionnaire sub-dimensions of participative humour [F(,003), p=,997], self-developing humour [F(,401), p=,670), aggressive humour [F(,883), p=,416)], and self-destructing humour [F(,909), p=,405). Participatory humour [F(1,31), p=,274), self-enhancing humour [F(1,298), p=,277), offensive humour [F(1,677)], p=,175), and self-defeating humour [F(1,172), p=,323)] sub-dimensions were not significantly different by income level. There was no statistically significant difference in the sub-dimensions of the humour scale according to education level: participative humour [F(,789), p=,456), self-enhancing humour [F(,633), p=,533), offensive humour [F(,330), p=,719)] and self-defeating humour [F(,032), p=,968]. As a result, the sense of humour of drone pilots does not differ based on the type of schooling, income level, or education level within the contents of this study.
