Abstract:

The jokes, defined as a short and meaningful narrative, hold a wide place in the Turkish people's narratives. These stories are sometimes related to a profession or character and reflect interpersonal communication conflicts in the context of various subjects. The source and purpose of communication is called the communication between persons. Disagreement or conflict in communication is explained by the concept of conflict. The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes of interpersonal communication conflicts in the doctor's subject joke. For this purpose, the doctor's joke in the electronic culture environment has been studied. In addition, the Most Beautiful Doctor's Joke prepared by the Sea Distribution was used as a source of the work called the Doctor's Golden Cave, where Shaban Lightning collected the events of humor related to the doctors. There are five types of conflicts in the interaction between individuals: active conflict, partial perception conflict, intensity conflict, existence conflict and pre-judicial conflict. In jokes, it has been revealed that people who misunderstood the messages, who behave in criticism and praise are causing communication conflicts/crisis. Keywords: doctor, joke, communication, conflict.
