Fear of being laughed at and family interaction are highly related. Parental over-control and over-protection influence children's excessive anxiety over being laughed at. Conversely, parental attachment is an important index of the parent-child relationship and is closely correlated to children's gelotophobia. However, is it the style of parenting or the outcome of parenting (i.e. attachment) that influences a child's gelotophobia? To answer this question, the present study analysed the relationships between gelotophobia, perceived parenting of children and parent-child attachment, as well as the mediating role of attachment between parenting and children's gelotophobia, using a sample of 373 high-school students. The results show that being highly communicative and close attachment completely weakened the negative correlation between warm, caring parenting and the child's gelotophobia; moreover, being highly communicative and close attachment, together with over-protective and over-controlling parenting, influence children's gelotophobia. In sum, this study indicates that parent-child attachment has a direct and indirect influence on perceived parental care and protection and children's fear of being laughed at.
对被嘲笑的恐惧与家庭互动高度相关。父母的过度控制和过度保护会影响孩子对被嘲笑的过度焦虑。相反，父母依恋是亲子关系的一个重要指标，与孩子的惧笑密切相关。然而，是育儿风格还是育儿结果（即依恋）影响孩子的惧笑呢？为了回答这个问题，本研究使用了 373 名高中生的样本，分析了惧笑、儿童感知的育儿方式和亲子依恋之间的关系，以及依恋在育儿方式和儿童惧笑之间的中介作用。结果表明，高度的沟通和亲密的依恋完全削弱了温暖、关心的育儿方式与孩子惧笑之间的负相关；此外，高度的沟通和亲密的依恋，以及过度保护和过度控制的育儿方式，都会影响孩子的惧笑。总之，本研究表明，亲子依恋对感知到的父母关怀和保护以及孩子对被嘲笑的恐惧有直接和间接的影响。
