Gelotophobia in China:On the Assessment of the Fear of Being Laughed at.

目的本研究是第一个关于恐笑症在中国的实证研究,主要在于验证恐笑症量表在中国大陆的适用性。方法第一次测试:中文译本的15道题恐笑症量表施测于429名大学生(其中男180人,女249人)。第二次测试:中文译本的15道题恐笑症量表和9道题生活满意度量表施测于352名大学生(其中男88人,女264人)。结果中文译本的15道题恐笑症量表显示了可接受的心理测量特性(Cronbach alpha=0.82),且两次样本数据支持恐笑症的一维结构。恐笑症与被试的年龄和性别无关,但与生活满意度显著负相关(r=-0.29,P<0.01)。有11.65%以上的被试得分都超过了临界值,表现出至少轻微的恐笑症症状。结论恐笑症量表适用于中国人群。
