A Comprehensive Examination of Social Exclusion

Summary/Abstract: As a social species, people are born into groups and maintain to live as members of groups. Therefore, inclusion in groups is a basic need in all human cultures (Baumeister and Leary, 1995). On the other hand, rejection by others is a common experience in social life. Social exclusion, eliciting the sense of being ignored, feeling invisible and rejected, leads to a series of behavioral, emotional, cognitive and physiological effects on humans. In this article, it is aimed to present a comprehensive examination of the social exclusion phenomenon based on research from social psychology. Firstly, in addition to the earliest studies in the field, contemporary literature has been taken into consideration and the phenomenon of exclusion has been conceptually and historically discussed. Then, the common methods which were used to give participants an experience of exclusion in the laboratory conditions are mentioned. Finally, the effects of social exclusion on individuals and theoretical approaches that try to explain social exclusion were discussed.
