Teasing
Teasing has multiple meanings and uses. In human interactions, teasing comes in three major forms,
playful,
hurtful, and
educative. Teasing can have a variety of effects, depending on how it is utilized and its intended effect. When teasing is playful and friendly, and especially when it is reciprocal, teasing can be regarded as
flirting. When teasing is unwelcome, it may be regarded as
harassment or
mobbing, especially in the work place and school, or as a form of
bullying or emotional
abuse. If done in public, it may be regarded as
humiliation. Teasing can also be regarded as educative when it is used as a way of
Informal learning. Adults in some of the
Indigenous American Communities often tease children to playfully illustrate and teach them how their behavior negatively affects the community. Children in many
Indigenous American Communities also learn by observing what others do in addition to collaborating with them. Along with teasing, this form of informal learning is different from the ways that Western American children learn. Informal ways of child learning include mutual responsibility, as well as active collaboration with adults and peers. This differentiates from the more formal way of learning because it is not adult-oriented.
