- Fearing humor? Gelotophobia: The fear of being laughed at Introduction and overview (2009, methodology): “…for us the substance of the scale per se (without additional consideration of the criteria) does not allow for the division into gelotophobic vs. nongelotophobic, an approximation of this judgment may be well achieved by applying the cut-o¤ points derived in the study by Ruch and Proyer (2008b).”
- Examining playfulness in adults: Testing its correlates with personality, positive psychological functioning, goal aspirations, and multi-methodically assessed ingenuity (2012, unknown): “Ruch and Proyer (2008, 2009) describe three dispositions in dealing with humor and laughter of others; namely, (a) the fear of being laughed at (gelotophobia); (b) the joy of being laughed at (gelotophilia); and (c) the joy of laughing at others (katagelasticism).”
- Extending the study of gelotophobia: On gelotophiles and katagelasticists (2009, methodology): “…for the subjective assessment of gelotophobia is well validated and, as this special issue shows, is used as the standard instrument for the subjective assessment for the fear of being laughed at (see also Ruch and Proyer 2008a, 2008b), the other items were newly developed for the present study.”
- Gelotophobia: The fear of being laughed at (2009, background): “It turned out that most of those statements were able to be used to discriminate well between gelotophobes (as assessed by clinical judgment) and shame-based and non-shame-based neurotics (Ruch and Proyer 2008a).”
- Emotional responses to ridicule and teasing: Should gelotophobes react differently? (2008, background): “As prior studies have shown that gelotophobia can be validly assessed by selfreports (Ruch and Proyer 2008a, 2008b; Ruch et al. 2008) both among clinical groups and the normal population, this hypothesis can be examined empirically.”
