Examining Play and Playfulness at Work: Current Knowledge, Practical Applications, and Future Research Directions
Playfulness—the ability to frame or reframe situations in an engaging, intellectually stimulating, or entertaining way—is an emerging topic in organizational research. Traditionally seen as the opposite of work, play and playfulness are increasingly recognized for their potential to enhance creativity, motivation, and well-being in professional settings. This review synthesizes theoretical and empirical perspectives on workplace play and playfuln…
Exploring the acquaintanceship effect for the accuracy of judgments of traits and profiles of adult playfulness
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to extend the research on the interpersonal perception of adult playfulness (global and facets: Other-directed, Lighthearted, Intellectual, and Whimsical [OLIW]) by testing whether judgmental accuracy relates to indicators of acquaintanceship. BACKGROUND: Playfulness has been found to contribute to social relationships. METHOD: Using data from 658 dyads (1,318 participants) who had been acquainted for 1 month to 62.2 years, we…
Profile similarities among romantic partners’ character strengths and their associations with relationship- and life satisfaction
We studied the similarity among partners’ character strengths (i.e., positively valued traits) across two studies. In Study 1, N = 68 couples completed the 240-item VIA Inventory of Strengths and in Study 2, N = 143 couples completed a 24-item brief-form and measures of life- and relationship satisfaction. We computed raw, normative, and distinctive profile similarities for the 24 strengths and found support for partners’ similarity in both studi…
Localizing gelotophobia, gelotophilia, and katagelasticism in domains and facets of maladaptive personality traits: A multi-study report using self- and informant ratings
We extend the knowledge on dispositions toward ridicule and being laughed at (gelotophobia, gelotophilia, and katagelasticism) by testing their localization in a system of maladaptive personality traits. Across two studies, we used self-ratings (Ntotal = 1,438) and informant reports (Ntotal = 378 dyads). The differential associations for the dispositions fit well with expectations: Negative Affectivity, Detachment and Psychoticism characterize ge…
A primer on studying effects of relationship duration in dyadic research: Contrasting cross-sectional and longitudinal approaches
There has been increasing interest in the analysis of dyadic data. While there is ongoing progress in the development of statistically fine-grained methods to model complex dyadic data, many studies examine relationship duration in dyads using cross-sectional data (e.g., when testing the effects of acquaintanceship on the accuracy of personality judgments). We discuss the theoretical and methodological implications of analyzing and interpreting t…
Testing the associations between dispositions toward ridicule and being laughed at and romantic jealousy in couples: An Apim analysis
OBJECTIVE: How people deal with ridicule and being laughed at plays a role in romantic life. We extend the research on the fear of being laughed at (gelotophobia), joy in being laughed at (gelotophilia), and joy in laughing at others (katagelasticism) by testing their associations with romantic jealousy and its consequences for relationship satisfaction (RS). METHOD: Our study is based on Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) analyses of sel…
