• Abstract: Objective: Using meta-analysis to determin the effect of watching humorous videos on reducing anxiety and to analyze the limitations of existing studies to identify breakthroughs for future research. Methods: Reviewing relevant studies on humorous video viewing and anxiety by systematically searching for Chinese and English databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, Springer Link, SAGE, CNKI, Wanfang Data, Weipu (VIP), etc, RevMan 5.3 software was used for data consolidation and analysis. Results: Four studies with a sample size of 221 participants were included, including 111 in the experimental group and 110 in the control group.The difference between the means of the pre- and posttest anxiety score change values between the experimental and control groups was significant (MD=-2.56, 95% CI [-3.96,-1.16], p=0.0004) and heterogeneous (p=0.16, I²=42%). Conclusion: This study demonstrate that viewing humorous videos can effectively reduce anxiety and that this humor therapy is cost-effective, widely applicable, free of time and geographical restrictions, easy to implement, and has great potentials for clinical, counseling, and mental health usage. 目的：通过元分析的手段明确观看幽默视频对降低焦虑的影响效果大小，并分析现有研究的局限性，为未来研究寻找突破。方法：检索Web of Science 、PubMed、Springer Link、SAGE、CNKI、万方、VIP维普等中英文数据库，收集有关观看幽默视频和焦虑的相关研究，使用RevMan 5.3软件进行数据合并和分析。结果：共纳入4项研究，样本量为221人，其中实验组111人，对照组110人。实验组和对照组前后测焦虑分数变化值的平均数差异显著（MD=-2.56，95% CI［-3.96，-1.16］，p =0.0004），且异质性较低（p =0.16，I ²=42%）。结论：本研究结果证明了观看幽默视频能够有效降低焦虑，这种幽默干预方式是成本效益低、适用范围广、无时间和地域限制、易于实施的干预措施，在临床、心理咨询和心理健康促进等方面具有很大的发展空间和潜能。
