Peer exclusion and victimization: Processes that mediate the relation between peer group rejection and children's classroom engagement and achievement? (2006, background): “After experiencing this kind of treatment, rejected children may respond by devaluing their relationships with group members and increasing their attempts to withdraw from classroom activities and interactions in which exclusion tends to occur (see also Baumeister & Leary, 1995; Leary, 2001).”
Transgression Severity and Forgiveness: Different Moderators for Objective and Subjective Severity (2005, background): “Transgressions that may require forgiveness against those who are sensitive to rejection are likely to be interpreted as signs of rejection and as an indication that the transgressor devalues the relationship, or at least does not value the relationship as much as the victim desires (Leary, 2001).”
Bullying: Are researchers and children/youth talking about the same thing? (2008, background): “This type of vigilance about social relations is described as a human’s “sociometer” which closely monitors and attends to the reactions of others (Leary, 2001).”
“Mom, dad, look at me”: The development of the Parental Phubbing Scale (2020, background): “…also found that being phubbed resulted in higher feelings of relational devaluation (i.e., perceiving themselves in the eyes of the partner as not as important, valuable, or close as much as one desire (Leary, 2001, 2020), which in turn accounted for lower levels of basic needs satisfaction.”
The role of person–organization fit and perceived organizational support in the relationship between workplace ostracism and behavioral outcomes (2017, background): “Although some studies (Leary, 2001, 2005) have attempted to differentiate between these constructs, there has not been any empirical evidence that placed distinctions between them which explain how they lead to different consequences (Williams, 2007).”

Sociometer theory and the pursuit of relational value: Getting to the root of self-esteem (2005, background): “From a merely logistical standpoint, people who spread themselves too thin among many relationships and groups will not be valued as a relational partner by anybody (Leary, 2001).”
Language exclusion and the consequences of perceived ostracism in the workplace. (2006, background): “Ostracized individuals also report liking group members less (Pepitone & Wilpizeski, 1960), report an increased desire to avoid future contact with them (Cheuk & Rosen, 1994), and actively derogate those who rejected them (Bourgeois & Leary, 2001).”

The effects of peer ostracism on children's cognitive processes (2012, background): “Excluded children may then respond by devaluing their relationships with peer group members and escalating their attempts to withdraw from classroom activities and interactions in which exclusion occurs (Baumeister & Leary, 1995; Leary, 2001).”
Normative Bias and Adaptive Challenges: A Relational Approach to Coalitional Psychology and a Critique of Terror Management Theory (2005, result): “When combined with findings concerning the centrality of social acceptance and norm adherence to self-esteem (Kirkpatrick and Ellis, 2001; Leary, 2001; Leary, Cottrell, and Phillips, 2001), these results lend credence to our interpretation of the interaction between self-esteem and responses to…”
