THE PAIN OF BEING REJECTED: UNDERSTANDING THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE EXPERIENCED AND VICARIOUS SOCIAL EXCLUSION
The present symposium aims to examine the topic of social rejection in different populations and using different experimental paradigms. Social rejection, which also can be conceptualized as social exclusion/ostracism and bullying and peer-victimization, both in real life or in the internet, can cause significant personal distress and discomfort, and its painful effects have been compared to those of physical pain. In this symposium, we propose to examine the topic of social rejection from three perspectives, in three different populations, and using three experiments. Each of these studies share in common the Cyberball as a probe of response to social exclusion. The three studies will discuss their findings in the context of psychosocial functioning and treatment, and will discuss venues for future directions in this field.
