Intactness of positive emotions, in particular, humour perception, may be a very important resource for patients. At the same time, humour perception is very sensitive to pathological conditions, such as the fear of being laughed at, known as “gelotophobia”. Those with gelotophobia perceive laughter as dangerous, rather than pleasant, and they can hardly distinguish between teasing and ridicule. Gelotophobia was confirmed to be expressed among people with mental disorders. Nonetheless, knowledge relating to the fear of being laughed at, was mostly generated among the non-clinical samples.</p> <p><bold>Objectives. </bold>Thus, the aim of the study was to provide more clinical data on gelotophobia manifestations associated with schizophrenia spectrum disorders; the emotional response and facial expression of patients with gelotophobia were studied, in particular, regarding their perception of humour, including during the early stages of disorders, by comparison with healthy individuals.</p> <p><bold>Methods.</bold> n=30 controls and n=32 patients with schizophrenia and with depression with signs of a high clinical risk of psychosis took part. Two short videos, comic and neutral, were shown to the participants, while videotaping their facial expression, followed each by a self-reported measure of emotional responses. Participants also completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the PhoPhiKat&lt;30&gt; and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale.</p> <p><bold>Results. </bold>Gelotophobia was significantly higher within the clinical group. It correlated with a lower frequency of grins among the patients during the comic video, while this was not the case in the control group. Gelotophobia was related to state and trait anxiety in both groups, but only in the clinical group did state anxiety increase after watching the comic video. Gelotophobia correlated with alexithymia and was twice higher among the patients compared to the controls.</p> <p><bold>Conclusion. </bold>Thus, gelotophobia has not only quantitative, but also qualitative specifics in patients with schizophrenia, and those with depression with signs of a clinically high risk of psychosis, compared to healthy controls.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Введение. </bold>Исследование ранних изменений эмоциональной сферы в рамках развития шизофрении является перспективным направлением в клинической психологии и психиатрии. Сохранность позитивных эмоций, в частности, при восприятии юмора, может являться важным ресурсом для пациентов. В то же время, восприятие юмора очень чувствительно к патологическим состояниям, например, таким как страх насмешки - “гелотофобия”. Пациенты с гелотофобией воспринимают смех, скорее, как опасный, чем как приятный, и такие пациенты с трудом могут отличить дружелюбное поддразнивание от насмешки. Было подтверждено, что у лиц, страдающих психическими расстройствами, часто встречается гелотофобия. Тем не менее, имеющиеся эмпирические данные о страхе насмешки были получены преимущественно на выборках здоровых людей.</p> <p><bold>Цель исследования.</bold> Таким образом, цель исследования состояла в том, чтобы предоставить больше клинических данных о проявлениях гелотофобии при расстройствах шизофренического спектра; изучить особенности эмоционального реагирования и лицевой экспрессии при восприятии юмора у пациентов с гелотофобией, включая пациентов на инициальных этапах развития расстройств, в сравнении со здоровыми людьми.</p> <p><bold>Материал и методы.</bold> В исследовании приняли участие 30 здоровых человек и 32 пациента, страдающих шизофренией или депрессией с признаками высокого клинического риска развития психоза. Участникам показывали два коротких видеоролика, комический и нейтральный, с одновременной видеофиксацией выражений их лиц, после каждого из них участники давали субъективный отчет о своих эмоциональных реакциях. Участники также заполняли опросник тревожности Спилбергера, опросник PhoPhiKat&lt;30&gt; и Торонтскую шкалу алекситимии.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Гелотофобия оказалась значимо выше в клинической группе. В клинической группе она коррелировала с более низкой частотой усмешек среди пациентов во время просмотра комического видеоролика, в то время как в контрольной группе этого не было выявлено. Гелотофобия была связана с личностной и ситуативной тревожностью в обеих группах, однако, только в клинической группе отмечалось повышение ситуативной тревожности после просмотра комического видеоролика. Были выявлены корреляции гелотофобии с алекситимией, причем с коэффициентом в 2 раза выше среди пациентов, по сравнению с контрольной группой.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Таким образом, гелотофобия имеет не только количественную, но и качественную специфику у больных шизофренией и пациентов с депрессией с признаками клинического риска развития психоза по сравнению со здоровыми людьми.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>gelotophobia</kwd><kwd>the fear of being laughed at</kwd><kwd>emotion</kwd><kwd>facial expression</kwd><kwd>humour</kwd><kwd>risk of psychosis</kwd><kwd>attenuated positive symptoms</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>гелотофобия</kwd><kwd>страх насмешки</kwd><kwd>эмоции</kwd><kwd>выражение лица</kwd><kwd>юмор</kwd><kwd>риск психоза</kwd><kwd>аттенуированные позитивные симптомы</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Tremeau F.
