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 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).”
