The state-of-the art in gelotophobia research: A review and some theoretical extensions (2014, methodology): “…will most likely be facilitated or impaired by factors such as affective dispositions (i.e., propensity to shame, fear, and low joy), lower order personality factors (e.g., inhibitedness, timidity; Ruch et al. 2013), or more global traits (i.e., neuroticism, introversion; Ruch and Proyer 2009b).”
The virtuousness of adult playfulness: the relation of playfulness with strengths of character (2011, background): “There may be a relation to sensation or risk seeking or of crossing borders in social interactions (e.g., when joking around or teasing others playfully turns into laughing at others instead of laughing with; see Ruch and Proyer 2009).”
Examining playfulness in adults: Testing its correlates with personality, positive psychological functioning, goal aspirations, and multi-methodically assessed ingenuity (2012, unknown): “Proyer, Ruch, and Müller (2010) found a positive relation between playfulness for various indicators of quality of life in a sample of elderly people.”
The well-being of playful adults: Adult playfulness, subjective well-being, physical well-being, and the pursuit of enjoyable activities (2013, background): “In Proyer (2012c), sillyvariants of playfulness correlated positively with enjoying to be laughed at (gelotophilia) but also enjoying laughing at others (katagelasticism; see Ruch & Proyer 2009).”
