You pass a group of people. The people are talking to each other. You cannot
hear what they are saying. But suddenly they start laughing. What would you
think? Would you think they were laughing at something funny that one of them
said? Or -- be honest with yourself -- would you think they were laughing at
you? Yes, you.
Being laughed at is a common fear. But a major study published in 2009 found
that this fear is not the same around the world. It differs from culture to
culture.
People in Finland were the least likely to believe that people laughing in
their presence were making fun of them. Less than ten percent of Finns in the
study said they would think that, compared to 80 percent of people in
Thailand.
Some people in the study said they felt unsure of themselves in social
situations but hid their feelings of insecurity. Others said they avoided social
situations where they had been laughed at before.
The study found that people in Turkmenistan and Cambodia were more likely to
be in the first group. They would hide their feelings of insecurity if they were
around other people's laughter. But people in Iraq, Egypt and Jordan were more
likely to try to avoid such situations if they felt they had been laughed at
before.
Shy people often avoid situations that would force them into close contact
with other people. They worry that something they say or do will make other
people laugh at them. But some people worry much more than others. They may have
a disorder called gelotophobia. Gelos is a Greek word. It means laughter.
Phobia means fear. This fear of laughter can be truly sad for those who live
with it. It can affect how they lead their lives.
In the study, a team from the University of Zurich led more than 90
researchers from around the world. They wanted to understand the difference
between normal shyness and true gelotophobia. Another purpose of the study was
to compare the levels of fear of being laughed at in different cultures. The
researchers surveyed more than 22,000 people in 42 different languages. The
findings appeared in the scientific journal Humor.
