Abstract
Gelotophobia is the pathological fear of being ridiculed and is considered a symptom of a social anxiety disorder (SDA). Gelotophobia can negatively interfere with academic activities, which requires public exposure in various situations. In this article, we present an exploratory analysis of the prevalence of gelotophobia in a sample of undergraduate and graduate students. The results reveal that gelotophobia is highly prevalent in the sample, with great potential to influence their academic performance negatively. The present study is the first step to help university students to overcome the academic obstacles interposed by social anxiety.
