Have you ever been laughed at by others? Being laughed at is a common fear. But a study found that this fear is not the same around the world. It dif?fers 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 per cent of Finns in the study said they would think that, compared to eighty per cent of people in Thailand.
Some people in the study said they felt unsure of themselves in social situ?ations but hid their feelings of insecurity(不安全).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 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 ninety 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 twenty-two thousand people in forty-two dif?ferent languages. The findings appeared in the scientific journal Humour.
