Abstract

The Ridicule Teasing Scenario Questionnaire was elaborated by T. Platt as one of instruments to assess gelotophobia. Using the RTSQ it was shown empirically that people with high fear of ridicule at are hardly able to distinguish situations of good-natured teasing and genuine bullying type ridicule. The article presents a Russian adaptation of the Ridicule Teasing Scenario Questionnaire of T. Platt. The results of a study on a group of 271 people confirmed the original data of Platt and showed that people with gelotophobia negatively perceive teasing as well as ridicule, and react to it with a whole range of negative emotions. The Russian version of the Ridicule Teasing Scenario Questionnaire has shown good psychometric properties, reliability and validity of the scales and can be recommended for use in studies of humor and laughter perception.
