The effects of "phubbing" on social interaction (2018, background): “In particular, individuals have an automatic mechanism detecting social ostracism (Panksepp, 2003) and the ostracizers do not even need to be real humans for targets to have reflexive responses (Zadro et al., 2004).”
How low can you go? Ostracism by a computer is sufficient to lower self-reported levels of belonging, control, self-esteem, and meaningful existence (2004, background): “The amassed evidence suggests that at all levels of measurement, humans detect and suffer from the most minimal cues of ostracism, supporting our view that ostracism is such a powerful social signal that it produces widespread intrapsychic reactions that serve to mobilize coping responses (see also,”
Depression: An Evolutionarily Conserved Mechanism to Terminate Separation Distress? A Review of Aminergic, Peptidergic, and Neural Network Perspectives (2009, background): “…(Panksepp, 1981; Panksepp, Herman, Vilberg, Bishop, & DeEskinazi, 1980; Panksepp, Normansell, Herman, Bishop, & Crepeau, 1988; Panksepp, Siviy, & Normansell, 1985), now replicated in many species (Panksepp, 2003a), from rats (Kehoe & Blass, 1986) to primates (Kalin, Shelton, & Barksdale, 1988).”

Affective consciousness: Core emotional feelings in animals and humans. (2005, background): “…ongoing work on separation distress (our PANIC system) was brought into question again recently (Blumberg & Sokoloff, 2001), I have gone to some length to discuss why infant rats may not be as fine model for social separation distress as species that develop robust social-bonds (Panksepp, 2003c).”
Ostracism: The Kiss of Social Death (2007, unknown): “These studies, and more under way, are providing evidence for two important conclusions: (i) the social pain of ostracism is linked closely to physical pain (see Eisenberger & Lieberman, 2004; MacDonald & Leary, 2005; Panksepp, 2003 ) and (ii) the initial painful response to ostracism is crude and ”
