Selected AbstractsHypersensitivity to Social Rejection and Perceived Stress as Mediators between Attachment Anxiety and Future Burnout: A Prospective AnalysisAPPLIED PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 3 2010Sigalit Ronen Drawing on Sociometer Theory, the current study examined whether the tendency to focus on and worry about social rejection at the workplace can predict stress and burnout. Data were collected at two time points from 231 hotel employees. Prospective-longitudinal design, structural equation modeling analyses revealed that participants' hypersensitivity to social rejection at the workplace predicted an increase in stress and in burnout across the 1 month of participation. Furthermore, the findings revealed that hypersensitivity to social rejection fully mediated the link between attachment anxiety and future stress and that hypersensitivity to social rejection and stress fully mediated the link between attachment anxiety and future burnout. Approximately 64 per cent of the variance in future burnout was explained by these variables. The results demonstrate the significant role social evaluative stressors play in the development of stress responses at the workplace.

Les données ont été collectées par deux fois auprès de 231 employés d'hôtellerie. Le traitement des études longitudinales par des analyses de modélisation par équations structurelles révèle que l'hypersensibilité des sujets au rejet sur le lieu de travail contribue à une augmentation du stress et de l'épuisement au cours du mois de participation. Les conclusions soulignent que l'hypersensibilité au rejet social est totalement influencée par le lien entre anxiété, attachement et stress futur et que l'hypersensibilité au rejet social et au stress est totalement influencée par le lien entre anxiété, attachement et épuisement à venir. Approximativement 64% de la variance de l'épuisement à venir est expliqué par ces variables. Les résultats montrent le rôle significatif joué par des sources de stress liées au jugement social d'autrui dans le développement des réponses de stress sur le lieu de travail. [source] When being disadvantaged grows into vengeance: The effects of asymmetry of interest and social rejection in social dilemmasEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 4 2009Jeroen Stouten In public good dilemmas, group members often differ in the extent to which they benefit from provision of the public good (asymmetry of interest). In the current paper, we argue that people may readily accept such financial differences in interest when their social needs are met by being accepted by the others. When people are socially rejected, however, members having a low rather than a high interest in the public good may display negative emotional and retributive reactions. This reasoning was supported by the findings of a first experimental study in which we manipulated people's interest in the public good and social rejection. These effects were replicated in a second experimental study and it was further shown that this two-way interaction between social rejection and interest in the public good was moderated by people's social value orientation. The negative reactions to low interest (vs. high interest) in the public good when being socially rejected were especially prominent among group members with a proself orientation. Taken together, the current studies illustrate the importance of studying how financial and social needs interact to determine emotional and retributive actions in social dilemmas.

[source] Sociotropy and bulimic symptoms in clinical and nonclinical samplesINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EATING DISORDERS, Issue 1 2003Jumi Hayaki Abstract Objective The purpose of this study is to examine the relation between sociotropy and bulimic symptoms. Studies of interpersonal functioning among individuals with bulimia nervosa consistently reveal issues of social dependency, need for approval, and fear of rejection. These themes are conceptually related to sociotropy, a cognitive-personality factor that has been implicated in the development and maintenance of depression. Individuals high in sociotropy are keenly invested in attaining others' approval and avoiding social rejection. Methods The relationship between sociotropy and bulimic symptoms was examined in two samples of women: undergraduate women and community women seeking treatment at a private eating disorder facility. Results In both samples, sociotropy was significantly associated with bulimic symptoms beyond the shared relation with depressed mood. Discussion Findings are discussed in terms of the maintenance and treatment of bulimia nervosa. © 2003 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Eat Disord 34: 172,176, 2003. [source] Teasing, rejection, and violence: Case studies of the school shootingsAGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR, Issue 3 2003Mark R. Leary Abstract Media commentators have suggested that recent school shootings were precipitated by social rejection, but no empirical research has examined this claim. Case studies were conducted of 15 school shootings between 1995 and 2001 to examine the possible role of social rejection in school violence. Acute or chronic rejection,in the form of ostracism, bullying, and/or romantic rejection,was present in all but two of the incidents. In addition, the shooters tended to be characterized by one or more of three other risk factors,an interest in firearms or bombs, a fascination with death or Satanism, or psychological problems involving depression, impulse control, or sadistic tendencies. Implications for understanding and preventing school violence are discussed. Aggr. Behav. 29:202,214, 2003. © 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source] Unjustified aggression in preschoolAGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR, Issue 6 2002C. Monks Abstract This study investigates the nature of unjustified aggression in Spanish preschool children aged 4 to 6 years. Children were assigned to roles in aggression (Aggressor, Victim, Defender, Supporter, and Bystander) on the basis of peer, teacher, and self-nominations. The roles taken in aggression were examined in relation to individuals' physical strength, social status, and social development. The coping strategies used by victims were also examined. Aggressive children were found to be socially rejected. Defenders were found to be the most popular children in the class, which may place them better to defend others without fear of reprisal or they may gain their status from the act of defending others. The findings also indicate that young victims do not exhibit the characteristics of older victims (e.g., social rejection and physical weakness), which confirms findings with 4- to 6-year-olds in England [Monks et al. 2002a, 2002b]. It is suggested that these findings relate to the instability of victimisation at this age. Aggr. Behav. 28:458,476, 2002. © 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source] Are stigma experiences among persons with mental illness, related to perceptions of self-esteem, empowerment and sense of coherence?JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRIC & MENTAL HEALTH NURSING, Issue 6 2009B. LUNDBERG rn rnt Accessible summary ,,The findings from the present study revealed that people with mental illness are often exposed to social rejection from friends and the public. The most common experiences concerned is to be treated differently, or as less competent, after being a patient in mental health care. ,,The main finding of this study was that more rejection experiences were associated with lower level of sense of coherence and, to a lesser extent, with lower level of empowerment and self-esteem. ,,The weak association, between enacted stigma and self-esteem, as well as empowerment and sense of coherence, seems encouraging. However, further research and interventions may also pay attention to felt or anticipated stigma among mentally ill persons. Abstract The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between stigmatizing rejection experiences and self-related variables. Our hypothesis was that rejection experiences would be negatively associated with perceptions of self-esteem, empowerment and sense of coherence. A cross-sectional study assessing rejection experiences, empowerment, sense of coherence and self-esteem was performed, including 200 persons in current or earlier contact with mental health services. The results showed that experiences of rejection were negatively associated with sense of coherence, empowerment and self-esteem. This exploratory investigation suggests that experiences of rejection might be a target for coping interventions. Mental health nurses are in a key position to identify patients' experiences of stigma and by that to understand what consequences of devaluation/discrimination can have for the afflicted.

[source] Peer Rejection and Social Information-Processing Factors in the Development of Aggressive Behavior Problems in ChildrenCHILD DEVELOPMENT, Issue 2 2003Kenneth A. Dodge The relation between social rejection and growth in antisocial behavior was investigated. In Study 1, 259 boys and girls (34% African American) were followed from Grades 1 to 3 (ages 6,8 years) to Grades 5 to 7 (ages 10,12 years). Early peer rejection predicted growth in aggression. In Study 2, 585 boys and girls (16% African American) were followed from kindergarten to Grade 3 (ages 5,8 years), and findings were replicated. Furthermore, early aggression moderated the effect of rejection, such that rejection exacerbated antisocial development only among children initially disposed toward aggression. In Study 3, social information-processing patterns measured in Study 1 were found to mediate partially the effect of early rejection on later aggression. In Study 4, processing patterns measured in Study 2 replicated the mediation effect. Findings are integrated into a recursive model of antisocial development. [source] | ||||||||||
