Following E. Goffman's (1967) face threat analysis of social interaction, it was hypothesized that the aggressive, playful content of teasing would vary according to social status and relational satisfaction, personality, role as teaser or target, and gender. These 4 hypotheses were tested in analyses of the teasing among fraternity members (Study 1) and romantic couples (Study 2). Consistent with a face threat analysis of teasing, low-status fraternity members and satisfied romantic partners teased in more prosocial ways, defined by reduced face threat and increased redressive action. Some findings indicate that disagreeable individuals teased in less prosocial ways, consistent with studies of bullying. Targets reported more negative emotion than teasers. Although female and male romantic partners teased each other in similar ways, women found being the target of teasing more aversive, consistent with previous speculation.
根据欧文·戈夫曼（1967）对社会互动的面子威胁分析，研究假设戏弄行为中具有攻击性和趣味性的内容会因社会地位、关系满意度、个性、戏弄者或被戏弄者的角色以及性别而有所不同。这四个假设在对兄弟会成员之间的戏弄行为（研究1）和浪漫情侣之间的戏弄行为（研究2）的分析中得到了检验。与对戏弄行为的面子威胁分析一致，地位较低的兄弟会成员和关系满意的浪漫伴侣以更具亲社会性质的方式进行戏弄，其定义为面子威胁减少和补救行为增加。一些研究结果表明，性格不合群的人进行戏弄时亲社会程度较低，这与欺凌研究的结果一致。被戏弄者比戏弄者报告了更多的负面情绪。尽管浪漫情侣中的男性和女性以相似的方式互相戏弄，但女性发现成为被戏弄的对象更令人厌恶，这与之前的推测一致。
