D. Williams, 1997, 2001).”
Integrating Personality Structure, Personality Process, and Personality Development (2017, background): “People may differ in the complexity of their concept of ‘rejection’, which can involve a larger or smaller number of situational constellations (e.g. being teased, receiving funny looks, being pointed at, others turning away; Leary, 2005).”
Interpersonal Rejection as a Determinant of Anger and Aggression (2006, background): “As we have seen, rejection is experienced as painful (and may even utilize neural pathways involved in aspects of physical pain; MacDonald & Leary, 2005), so that people who are rejected may restore equity by distributing the pain.”
The importance of belonging and the avoidance of social risk taking in adolescence (2021, background): “Research investigating the causal effects of social exclusion often use Cyberball, an online ball throwing game in which participants are excluded from the game (Leary, 2005).”
