Understanding partial ostracism across varied social contexts
Individuals can receive plenty of attention but still feel ignored. This paper expands Williams's work on ostracism - being ignored and excluded - by demonstrating that partial ostracism operates through different paths: inconsistent attention, selective inclusion, or superficial recognition that ignores essential aspects of a person's identity. I trace how partial ostracism research evolved from Cyberball's irregular inclusion to out of the loop…
Dehumanization of stigmatized targets of ostracism
The study explored people's reactions to observing the ostracism of stigmatized targets. Participants (n = 198) who observed ostracism experienced need threat regardless of the target's identity. Participants regarded included addicts more positively than ostracized addicts, especially on traits that are considered unique to humans. As for dehumanization, subtle measures demonstrate that ostracized targets are perceived as less human. In contrast…
The gaslighting relationship exposure inventory
Gaslighting, a form of psychological abuse, has received increasing attention in recent years. The current research provides reliability and validity evidence for a new 11-item measure of exposure to gaslighting by a romantic partner: The Gaslighting Relationship Exposure Inventory (GREI). Two studies were conducted with Israeli ( N = 509) and American ( N = 395) community samples. Participants were involved in a romantic relationship and complet…
The effects of sexual harassment, assault, and objectification on the self
Sexual objectification is an umbrella term for a diverse range of experiences that make someone feel as if they are merely a body that exists for the use and pleasure of others. This special issue presents nine empirical papers examining the connections between sexual objectification and self-relevant variables (e.g., self-concept; self-esteem). These papers provide innovative theoretical and methodological approaches to studying the antecedents …
The effects of ostracism on perceptions and interpretations of catcalls
Ostracism puts individuals in a vulnerable position as they are desperate to regain attention. We examined whether ostracism would alter the perception and interpretation of catcalls – lewd statements or whistling by strangers – and whether catcalls would assist in restoring the needs threatened by ostracism. Participants were either included or ostracized, reported need satisfaction, watched a video of a woman being the target of catcalls, and t…
I’m up here! Sexual objectification leads to feeling ostracized
Theory and research demonstrate that women are frequently the targets of sexually objectifying behavior, viewed and treated by others as mere objects for pleasure and use. When sexually objectified, attention is principally focused on scrutinizing and valuing their physical features, whereas their internal attributes (e.g., thoughts, feelings, personhood) may be largely ignored (Bartky, 1990). Although the processes and negative effects associate…
Cell phone-induced ostracism threatens fundamental needs
Cell phones are useful tools with both practical and social benefits. However, using them in the context of face-to-face conversations may be problematic. We consider this behavior a form of ostracism and test its effects on the satisfaction of basic psychological needs for belonging, self-esteem, control, and meaningful existence. In Study 1 participants who recalled a time in which a friend was checking a cell phone during a serious conversatio…
