A hypothesis was examined, that gelotophobia (the fear of being laughed at) was negatively related to Type I thinking styles and positively related to Type II thinking styles as defined in Sternberg's theory of mental self-government. 431 university students (250 women, 181 men; M age = 20.4 yr., SD = 1.2) completed self-report measures of gelotophobia (GELOPH <15>) and thinking styles (Thinking Styles Inventory-Revised). Correlation and regression analyses were conducted. The results indicated that gelotophobia was negatively and significantly related to four Type I thinking styles (legislative, judicial, liberal, and hierarchical thinking styles) and a Type III thinking style (external), while it was positively and significantly related to a Type II thinking style (conservative). Thinking styles uniquely explained 18% of the total variance in gelotophobia scores. Possible interventions from the perspective of thinking styles in the treatment of gelotophobia were discussed.
一项假设得到了检验，即恐笑症（害怕被嘲笑）与斯滕伯格心理自我管理理论中所定义的I型思维方式呈负相关，与II型思维方式呈正相关。431名大学生（250名女性，181名男性；平均年龄 = 20.4岁，标准差 = 1.2）完成了恐笑症（GELOPH <15>）和思维方式（修订版思维方式量表）的自我报告测量。进行了相关分析和回归分析。结果表明，恐笑症与四种I型思维方式（立法型、司法型、自由型和等级型思维方式）以及一种III型思维方式（外部型）呈显著负相关，而与一种II型思维方式（保守型）呈显著正相关。思维方式独特地解释了恐笑症得分总方差的18%。讨论了从思维方式角度对恐笑症进行治疗的可能干预措施。
