Interpersonal rejection ranks among the most potent and distressing
events that people experience. Romantic rejection, ostracism,
stigmatization, job termination, and other kinds of rejections have
the power to compromise the quality of people's lives. As a result,
people are highly motivated to avoid social rejection, and, indeed,
much of human behavior appears to be designed to avoid such
experiences. Yet, despite the widespread effects of real,
anticipated, and even imagined rejections, psychologists have
devoted only passing attention to the topic, and the research on
rejection has been scattered throughout a number of psychological
subspecialties (e.g., social, clinical, developmental,
personality). In the past few years, however, we have seen a surge
of interest in the effects of interpersonal rejection on behavior
and emotion. The goal of this book is to pull together the
contributions of several scholars whose work is on the cutting edge
of rejection research, providing a scholarly yet readable overview
of recent advances in the area. In doing so, it not only provides a
look at the current state of the area but also helps to establish
the topic of rejection as an identifiable area for future research.
Topics covered in the book include: ostracism, unrequited love,
betrayal, stigmatization, rejection sensitivity, rejection and
self-esteem, peer rejection in childhood, emotional responses to
rejection, and personality moderators of reactions to rejection.
