Social Exclusion Reduces Happiness By Creating Expectations Of Future Rejection
SELF AND IDENTITY(2021)
摘要
Social exclusion reduces happiness and well-being partly by creating a generalized expectation offuturerejection and lack of belonging. An experiment (N= 709) using a guided imagination task found that social exclusion led to reduced feelings of happiness. The effect was mediated by future expectations, as participants who imagined a vivid exclusion scenario thought they were more likely to experience actual rejection in the coming weeks. A correlational survey focusing on individual differences found a similar pattern. People who felt a strong sense of general belonging thought they were less likely to experience future rejection than people with weak belonging, and they also reported higher levels of current happiness.
