	Using Humor in the Counseling Relationship
		The risk of humor in counseling is a greater one in that the concern is not with the counselor being rejected for using the humor, but for the client to be potentially harmed by receiving the humor.
		Humor through the development of planned spontaneity, with an understanding of the client's ability to integrate therapeutic humor, and with the counselor's ability to be genuine and take him/her self lightly can be an effective intervention tool for the skilled counselor.
		Humor can be employed to directly intervene to assist clients to change how they feel, how they act, how they think, and even how their biochemistry responds.

		H3: It is misleading to use interchangeably the term, involvement and risk, because of the different meanings of the two constructs — involvement is a broader construct than risk, because it encompasses both enduring perceived personal relevance of a product/ad and situational relations.
		Risk is more closely related to consumer-choice situation, in which an individual make a decision considering various potential benefits and risks. Sampling: Convenience sampling ’!
		No main and interaction effects of humor type may be not because it is not an important factor affecting consumer attitudes and purchase intention, but because it is strongly correlated with the ad perception factor — no unique explanatory power of the humor type factor.
