Loneliness Predicts Reduced Physical Activity: Cross-Sectional & Longitudinal Analyses (2009, result): “…research that has shown loneliness-related impairments in self-regulation of attentional processes (Cacioppo et al., 2000), and is consistent with research showing that the threat of social exclusion/isolation impairs self-regulation of hedonic processes such as eating (Baumeister et al., 2005).”
The Effects of Ostracism on Self–Regulation in the Socially Anxious (2008, methodology): “The need to use self–regulation to enact a healthy but unpleasant behavior encompasses many regulatory efforts, including getting out of bed to exercise or even visiting the dentist (Baumeister et al., 2005).”
The role of person–organization fit and perceived organizational support in the relationship between workplace ostracism and behavioral outcomes (2017, background): “Ostracized individuals will then have a higher tendency to engage in maladaptive behaviors (Baumeister et al., 2005).”
Abusive supervision and retaliation: A self-control framework (2014, background): “Research has also shown that even when self-control resources were depleted, once provided with incentives, individuals were able to perform tasks that required self-control (Baumeister et al., 2005).”
Co‐Worker Exclusion and Employee Outcomes: An Investigation of the Moderating Roles of Perceived Organizational and Social Support (2014, background): “…or excluded by fictitious participants in a computersimulated ball toss game) negatively effected subjects’ willingness to complete tasks that require persistence and attentional control, such as performing a listening task and a word match game (e.g., Baumeister et al., 2005; Zhou et al., 2009).”
Loneliness and smoking: The costs of the desire to reconnect (2011, neutral): “Social exclusion and inclusion relate to self-esteem (Leary & Baumeister, 2000), self-enhancement processes (Katz & Beach, 2000 ), self-regulation (Baumeister, DeWall, Ciarocco, & Twenge, 2005 ), and navigating one's identity and group membership (Brewer, 1991 ).”
Conclusions about Interventions, Programs, and Approaches for Improving Executive Functions that appear Justified and those that, despite much hype, do not (2015, background): “Feeling excluded or as if ou do not belong impairs prefrontal cortex functioning, selective ttention, and reasoning (Baumeister et al., 2005; Campbell et al., 006; Twenge et al., 2002).”
Fitting in or Opting Out: A Review of Key Social-Psychological Factors Influencing a Sense of Belonging for Women in Physics. (2016, background): “For instance, after experiencing exclusion, people show poorer self-regulation [17],more self-defeating behavior [18], and even poorer cognitive performance [19].”
Forgotten but not gone: the recall and recognition of self-threatening memories (2008, positive): “These findings echo the results of related research, in which mood fails to moderate the effects of negative feedback (e.g., social exclusion; Baumeister, DeWall, Ciarocco, & Twenge, 2005 ).”
Organizational Supports and Organizational Deviance: The Mediating Role of Organization-Based Self-Esteem (2009, background): “The effects of identity threats are therefore transmitted through their impact on belonging and self-esteem levels, which impair self-regulatory ability (Baumeister et al., 2005; Heimpel et al., 2006), resulting in deviant behavior.”
