“…Research suggests that dismissing individuals may be more sensitive than others to social cues indicating social acceptance (Gardner, Pickett, & Brewer, ), as individuals who tend to inhibit information signalling social rejection are likely to respond to an increase but not a decrease in their perception of social acceptance (Leary & Downs, ). On the other hand, studies propose that individuals who do not worry about being rejected by others, like our participants with low dismissingness scores, do not experience affective or self‐esteem changes after an episode of social acceptance (Baumeister, Dori, & Hastings, ). The current findings, therefore, provide further evidence for the relatively adaptive, but essentially defensive nature of dismissing attachment, particularly as it manifests itself in immigration.…”

The study extends recent research on the link between attachment security and the sociocultural and psychological adaptation of immigrants. It was hypothesised that attachment style would moderate the effects of sociocultural adaptation difficulties on psychological distress and the relationship between attachment style and immigrant background variables was explored. The study was correlational and questionnaire-based, including a sample of 172 Brazilian immigrants living in the UK. According to the findings, secure and dismissing attachment styles moderated the effects of sociocultural adaptation difficulties on psychological distress. Preoccupied attachment style moderated the effects of previous immigration experience on psychological distress and the effects of duration of stay in the UK on concerns over terrorism. Future studies should employ longitudinal designs and include a variety of immigrant groups.

“…Previous research has employed retrospective accounts to examine numerous psychological phenomena, including teasing (Kowalski, 2000), unrequited love (Baumeister, Wotman, & Stillwell, 1993), interpersonal rejection (e.g., , and ego-shock (Campbell, Baumeister, Dhavale, & Tice, 2003). Although some research suggests that people often emphasize social acceptance or rejection in accounts of events that changed their self-esteem (e.g., Baumeister, Dori, & Hastings, 1998), this research did not probe for other types of events that reportedly affected self-esteem. Thus, in Study 4, we looked for references to feelings of both competence and acceptance in participants' narrative accounts.…”

“…STUDY 1 In Study 1, we wanted to examine the relationship between narcissism and reactions to social rejection. We used a narrative approach (e.g., Baumeister, Dori, & Hastings, 1998;Baumeister, Stillwell, & Heatherton, 1995;Stillwell & Baumeister, 1997), asking participants to tell a story about a time they felt socially rejected. Participants then described their emotional responses on a 33-item Likert-scale mood measure.…”

Across four studies, narcissists were more angry and aggressive after experiencing a social rejection than were nonnarcissists. In Study 1, narcissism was positively correlated with feelings of anger and negatively correlated with more internalized negative emotions in a self-reported, past episode of social rejection. Study 2 replicated this effect for a concurrent lab manipulation of social rejection. In Study 3, narcissists aggressed more against someone who rejected them (i.e., direct aggression). In Study 4, narcissists were also more aggressive toward an innocent third party after experiencing social rejection (i.e., displaced aggression). Narcissists were not more aggressive after social acceptance. Self-esteem plays little role in predicting aggression in response to rejection. These results suggest that the combination of narcissism and social rejection is a powerful predictor of aggressive behavior.
