	Teasing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Teasing is the act of playfully disturbing another person, either with words or with actions.
		Teasing may also be pretending to give the other something which the other desires, or giving it very slowly.
		"To tease", or to "be a tease" in a sexual sense can mean to by dress, posture, language and/or other means of flirting to cause another person to become sexually aroused, without any intent to proceed further — usually to the frustration of the person teased.

	Teasing Mares (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Teasing mares can be a time-consuming and boring procedure, but it is essential if one is to detect when a mare is in estrus.
		In very small breeding operations, the teasing can be done with the breeding stallion, but this is a sure way to develop a frustrated horse which is difficult to handle and can become rank and overly aggressive.
		The mare should be teased by the stallion head to head, at the buttocks, and at the external genitalia.

	Psychology Today: The Art of the Tease
		From the outside, teasing seems to be a twisted pleasure: affectionate and sort of insulting all at once.
		But since the driving force behind teasing is a yearning to maintain harmonious social relationships, teasers engage in redressive action -- they deploy humorous or playful tactics signaling that the criticism should not be taken as a condemnation.
		Whether a tease lands as intended depends in part on the relationship between the teaser and teasee.

	Labour of Love :: Helping Children Deal With Teasing
		Teasing cannot be prevented, and children cannot control what others say; however, they can learn to control their own reactions.
		For example, a child teases another about her glasses, "Four eyes, four eyes, you have four eyes." The child being teased could politely respond, "Thanks for noticing my glasses!" The teaser is usually confused, especially when there is not a reaction of anger or frustration.
		Teasing can be very painful for children, and it can affect their self-esteem and how they relate to other people.

		Whether a child is a victim of teasing and bullying, a bully, or a victim and a bully, peer relationships are affected.

		Because teasing and bullying often occur at school or on the way to school, the school staff is an essential partner in prevention.

		Teasing is a complex yet vital social interaction through which people socialize each other, enter into and maintain relationships, and negotiate group membership and social hierarchies.
		Teasing then, is a form of provocation (criticism or hostility) mitigated by off-record markers (playful gestures), each of which may be present to varying degrees.
		Teasing further involves elements of pretense that, to be understood properly, require the ability to assume pretend roles and stances (for elaboration on this notion, see Clark, 1996; Clark and Gerrlg, 1984; Keltner et al., 2001).

	Teasing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Teasing is one of the most important aspects in reproductive management of mares.
		It is vital that the person teasing the mares knows how each mare acts when she is not in estrus, in order to identify changes consistent with estrus.
		This teasing method allows one person to tease a large number of mares in a relatively short period of time, and allows the mares to interact with the stallion in a fairly natural situation.

	Journal of General Psychology: Teasing: for superiority or solidarity? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Although teasing is not always positive (e.g., when used to bully), when it is between friends in social contexts and does not highly degrade a person's identity, it is expected to be benign and possibly even strengthen bonds between individuals.
		The irritation at being teased stems from the target feeling put on the spot, or having a flaw uncovered; but the fact that the teasing is a playful act between friends signals that the irritating elements should not be taken seriously, and it thus neutralizes the negative component of teasing comments.
		In addition, teasing can actually strengthen the relationship by establishing roles, showing a certain level of familiarity between individuals, and defining the interaction as involving a "joking relationship" of a desire to have such a relationship (when the friendship is new).

	TEASING AND BULLYING OF CHILDREN WHO STUTTER
		It is worth note that the incidence of teasing is substantially higher among CWS than it is among the general school population, whose incidence of victimization is somewhere between nine percent and 35 percent, depending on which studies are considered (Langevin, Bortnick, Hammer, & Wiebe, 1998).
		Parents are often unaware of teasing that goes on, and only talk with their children about the issue to a limited extent, if at all (Olweus, 1993; Langevin et al., 1998).
		Children who are teased are often socially isolated, as their peers do not wish to be "teased by association" and therefore have few friends and social skills.

	Teasing, Ages 6 to 12 \| AHealthyMe.com

		Children may tease to express their uneasiness with these differences or, worse, to seek power over the kids who seem different.
		Uncontrollable or abusive teasing can be a sign that emotional, physical, or developmental problems are causing your child to lash out in frustration.

		However, with the recent spate of school shootings in which teasing has been implicated as a major cause, that attitude is now being questioned.

		Parents can role play "ignoring" with their children and praise children for their excellent "acting." It should be noted that ignore-ing may not be effective in prolonged teasing situations.
		For example, a child teases another about her glasses, "Four eyes, four eyes, you have four eyes." The child being teased could politely respond, "Thanks for notice-ing my glasses!" The teaser is usually confused, especially when there is not a reaction of anger or frustration.
		The teaser says, "You have so many freckles." The teased child responds, "Yes, I have a lot of freckles." The teaser taunts, "You are such a cry baby." The teased child can answer, "I do cry easily." Agreeing with facts usually eliminates the feeling of wanting to hide the freckles or the tears.
