From ostracism on the playground to romantic rejection, bullying at
work, and social disregard for the aged, individuals are at
constant risk of experiencing instances of social exclusion,
including ostracism, rejection, dehumanization, and discrimination.
These phenomena have a powerful impact as testified by their
immediate influence on people's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Social Exclusion: Psychological Approaches to Understanding and
Reducing Its Impact investigates different psychological
approaches, across multiple psychological subdisciplines, to
understanding the causes and consequences of social exclusion and
possible ways to reduce or buffer against its negative effects. The
purpose of this volume is threefold. First, it lays the groundwork
for the understanding of social exclusion research; reviewing the
different instances of social exclusion in everyday life and
methods to experimentally investigate them. Second, this volume
brings together different psychological approaches to the topic of
social exclusion. Leading scholars from around the world contribute
perspectives from social psychology, social neuroscience,
developmental psychology, educational psychology, work and
organizational psychology, clinical psychology, and social
gerontology to provide a comprehensive overview of social exclusion
research in different psychological subdisciplines. Taken together,
these chapters are conducive to the important development of new
and more integrative research models on social exclusion. Finally,
this volume discusses psychological strategies such as emotion
regulation, psychological resources, and brain mechanisms that can
reduce or buffer against the negative consequences of social
exclusion. From school shootings to domestic violence, from
cognitive impairment to suicide attempts, the negative impact of
social exclusion has been widely documented. Thus, from an applied
perspective, knowing potential ways to mitigate the negative
effects of social exclusion can have a significant positive
influence on people's-and society's-well-being. Overall, this book
provides the reader with the knowledge to understand the impact of
social exclusion and with tools to address it across many different
contexts. Importantly, Social Exclusion: Psychological Approaches
to Understanding and Reducing Its Impact aims to bridge the gap
between the approaches of different psychological subdisciplines to
this topic, working towards a comprehensive, integrative model of
social exclusion.
