Previous research has shown that being ostracized by members of a despised outgroup is as hurtful as being ostracized by ingroup members ( Gonsalkorale & Williams, 2007 ). In the current study, we conduct a direct replication of the Gonsalkorale and Williams's study and also investigate whether this (lack of) effect is due to the way negative consequences of ostracism were measured. To do so, we created a new measure that directly assesses whether people were hurt from being ostracized (or not). Our results and a small-scale meta-analysis including Gonsalkorale and Williams's results show that ostracism effects are not significantly diminished when the source of ostracism is a despised outgroup. We discuss theoretical and methodological implications
