| dc.description.abstract | The aim of the current study was to examine the relationships between gelotophobia, teasing, and psychological distress. It was expected that gelotophobia would be linked to distress rather than frequency of teasing, and that psychological distress would be associated with both gelotophobia and childhood teasing. Three measures were used to collect data. The sample consisted of 150 participants, and there were no effects of gender nor age on any of the variables. The results generally supported the hypotheses, and suggest that distress caused by teasing is strongly related to gelotophobia. The results also show that gelotophobia is associated with depressive and anxious symptoms. It was also evident that distress caused by teasing is more predictive of later psychological functioning than just the frequency of teasing. The implications of these results and their clinical significance are discussed within the framework of Lebanese society. | |
