Description

This book provides a comprehensive examination of the pervasive phenomenon of ostracism, exploring the short-and long-term consequences for targets as well as the functions served for those who exclude or ignore. Within a cogent theoretical framework, a research program is presented that makes use of such diverse methods as laboratory experiments, surveys, narrative accounts, interviews, Internet-based research, brief role-plays, and week-long simulations. The resulting data shed new light on how ostracism affects the individual's coping responses, self-esteem, and sense of belonging and control.

First Sentence

Few events in life are more painful than feeling that others, especially those whom we admire and care about, want nothing to do with us.
