| summary | Social exclusion is a common phenomenon that threatens the fundamental human need to belong. It can lead to depression, alienation, and sometimes even to violent behavior. A line of research suggests that exclusion can also modulate processing of social information. For instance, exclusion has been shown to improve participants’ identification of others’ facial expressions and bias their attention toward smiling faces. In this talk, I will review research on the effects of exclusion on processing of social information. The current evidence suggests that exclusion not only influences memory performance and alters high-level judgments that individuals make, but also exerts biases at the earlier, perceptual stages, modulating stimulus detection and identification. Understanding how these biases emerge in socially excluded individuals might help researchers better understand why exclusion sometimes leads to detrimental outcomes, and why some individuals are able to respond to exclusion adaptively and restore their sense of belonging. |
