Humanity in psychology refers to the qualities that define human beings, particularly in terms of empathy, compassion, altruism, and social connection. It reflects the shared emotional and moral experiences that connect individuals to one another, fostering understanding, cooperation, and a sense of belonging.

Deutsch: Humerus / Español: Húmero / Português: Úmero / Français: Humérus / Italian: Omero
Humerus in the psychology context does not have a direct application since it is primarily an anatomical term referring to the long bone in the upper arm. However, if we consider the broader context of psychology and its intersection with health and bodily awareness, the humerus can be relevant in discussions about body image, physical health, and their psychological implications.

Humor research in the psychology context refers to the scientific study of humor's nature, its psychological underpinnings, its effects on mental and physical health, and its role in social interactions and communication. This multidisciplinary field intersects with psychology, sociology, linguistics, and neuroscience to explore how and why humor is used by individuals, how it develops across the lifespan, and its therapeutic and relational benefits.
