Zusatztext "This book is for all of us. It's for everyone who has ever been jilted! shunned! stood up for dinner! blackballed! left at the altar! or not told about the secret handshake. These chapters offer everything from clever insights to novel experiments to thorough reviews! touching in turn on many facets of the experience of rejection that we all know far too well-but have never before seen analyzed with this kind of scientific clarity."-Daniel M. Wegner! Harvard University"Why do people ignore! exclude! or reject others? How does such ostracism impact people's emotions! thoughts! and actions (in ways both toxic and adaptive)? In this state-of-the-art volume! internationally prominent social psychologists provide definitive answers. A timely and fascinating book for anyone seeking deeper insight into 'the social animal.'" -David G. Myers! Hope College"Many facets of [...] renewed scholarly interest are illuminated in this very comprehensive and sophisticated collectionof papers from highly regarded scholars in several subfields. For the foreseeable future! this book will be definitive. It is a sourcebook that codifies the leading edge of research on social exclusion across many levels of analysis.The editors intended the [...] book to be a collaborative effort representing cross-fertilisation of many perspectives on exclusion rather than a more simplistic anthology of works from diverse thinkers. They have definitely succeeded! and as a result this book should be useful to researchers and advanced students in any behavioural science domain concerned with the dynamics of social belonging." -Brian H. Stagner! in PsyCritiques! June 14 2006 Informationen zum Autor Williams, Kipling D.; Forgas, Joseph P.; Hippel, William Von Klappentext This book focuses on the ubiquitous and powerful effects of ostracism, social exclusion, rejection, and bullying. Human beings are an intrinsically gregarious species. Most of our evolutionary success is no doubt due to our highly developed ability to cooperate and interact with each other. It is thus not surprising that instances of interpersonal rejection and social exclusion would have an enormously detrimental impact on the individual. Until 10 years ago, however, social psychology regarded ostracism, rejection and social exclusion as merely outcomes to be avoided, but we knew very little about their antecedents and consequences, and about the processes involved when they occurred. Furthermore, the literatures of ostracism, social exclusion and rejection have not until now included discussions of the bullying literature. Zusammenfassung Focuses on the ubiquitous and powerful effects of ostracism, social exclusion, rejection, and bullying. This title shows how social psychology regarded ostracism, rejection and social exclusion as merely outcomes to be avoided. Inhaltsverzeichnis The Social Outcast: Introduction, Kipling D.
