Abstract EN

The aim of the current research is to identify the relationship between the patterns of biorhythm and the styles of humor among male and female secondary school teachers in the general directorate of education in the province of babil.

the two scales were translated into arabic by specialists in the english language (3), and in order to ascertain the validity and validity of the paragraphs of the two scales, they were presented to (12) arbitrators specialized in the field of educational and psychological sciences, and the percentage of agreement on the rhythm scale reached the measure was vital (93%), while the percentage of agreement on the humor methods scale was (95%), then the scale was presented to an exploratory sample of (70) male and female teachers for the purpose of ensuring the clarity of the scale's paragraphs.

in order to ensure the validity of the scale, two types of honesty were found : the apparent honesty, which was achieved by presenting paragraphs to the arbitrators, and the validity of the construction that was achieved by finding the discriminatory power by the styles of the two peripheral groups.

to ensure the level of stability of the scale items, the value of the alpha-cronbach coefficient was extracted, which amounted to (85% and 88%) for the biorhythm and humor scales, respectively.

the results that were reached showed that there is a significant correlation between the biorhythm and humor styles according to the gender variable (males-females) if the correlation coefficient for males reached (0.328) and it is a medium relationship at the level of significance (0.01), while the correlation was low for females with a correlation coefficient of (0.247) at the level of significance (0.05).
