Social Psychology reaffiliation rejection belongingness Research on reaffiliation after exclusion has largely focused on how victims identify affiliation candidates rather than how victims engage these candidates. To address this gap, I explored how exclusion victims present themselves to reaffiliation candidates. Following an exclusion, non-social failure, or control manipulation, participants publically rated themselves on socially relevant and irrelevant traits under the belief that they would or would not receive feedback from another participant. I expected that excluded participants would present themselves as more socially competent than would failure or control participants, regardless of whether or not they believed they would receive feedback. Contrary to predictions, participants’ social competency ratings were resistant to influence by either of the experimental manipulations. Excluded participants with chronic belongingness concerns did tend to present themselves as more socially competent than their control counterparts, however. Potential explanations for unexpected findings and contributions of this work to the social exclusion literature are discussed. 2012-12-07 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1354562810 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1354562810 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
