Beschreibungen/Notizen
Drawing on E. Goffman's concepts of face and strategic
interaction, the authors define a tease as a playful provocation in which
one person comments on something relevant to the target. This approach
encompasses the diverse behaviors labeled teasing, clarifies previous
ambiguities, differentiates teasing from related practices, and
suggests how teasing can lead to hostile or affiliative outcomes. The
authors then integrate studies of the content of teasing. Studies
indicate that norm violations and conflict prompt teasing. With
development, children tease in playful ways, particularly around
the ages of 11 and 12 years, and understand and enjoy teasing
more. Finally, consistent with hypotheses concerning contextual
variation in face concerns, teasing is more frequent and hostile when
initiated by high-status and familiar others and men, although
gender differences are smaller than assumed. The authors conclude by
discussing how teasing varies according to individual differences and
culture.
