“…Before the Cyberball game and the experimental task, participants completed a brief measure of their tendency to mentally visualize enhancing the cover story for their next task, playing Cyberball 4.0 (Jarvis & Williams, 2006;Williams et al, 2012). During a 30-toss game of Cyberball, participants were instructed to practice mental visualizing (e.g., imagine the scenery, the other players).…”

Ostracized individuals demonstrate an increased need for belonging. To satisfy this need, they search for signals of inclusion, one of which may be another person's gaze directed at oneself. We tested if ostracized, compared to included, individuals judge a greater degree of averted gaze as still being direct. This range of gaze angles still viewed as direct has been dubbed "the cone of (direct) gaze". In the current research, ostracized and included participants viewed friendly-looking face stimuli with direct or slightly averted gaze (0°, 2°, 4°, 6°, and 8° to the left and to the right) and judged whether stimulus persons were looking at them or not. Ostracized individuals demonstrated a wider gaze cone than included individuals.

“…In the included condition the tosses were distributed equally among the three players with the participant receiving the ball on one third of the tosses (10 tosses in total), while in the excluded condition the participant received the ball 2 times, at the very beginning of the game (once A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT INTEROCEPTION AND SOCIAL EXCLUSION 6 from Player 1 and once from Player 2), after which the participant was excluded from the game while the ball was passed only between Player 1 and Player 3 for the remainder of tosses (28 tosses). Cyberball 4.0 (Williams, Yeager, Cheung, & Choi, 2012) was administered through the online survey software Qualtrics (www.qualtrics.com), using the script obtained on www.cyberball.wikispaces.com.…”

“…Participants were asked to play an online ball tossing game (Cyberball 4.0, Williams, Yeager, Cheung, & Choi, 2012). We adapted the Cyberball game to serve as a measure of intergroup affiliation/exclusion in a similar fashion as Degner, Wentura, Gniewosz, and Noack (2007).…”

Although universal, the motivation to affiliate can vary as a function of individual differences and of the characteristics of the target. Three studies explored the extent to which religious beliefs and identity are related to social affiliation motivation. Because most religions advocate affiliation and provide opportunities for frequent experiences of affiliation, we reasoned that religious people might show greater affiliation motivation in everyday attitudes and behaviors. We found that religiosity was positively related to implicit and behavioral measures of general social affiliation (Studies 1 and 2). However, manipulating the identity of the affiliation target revealed that when affiliating might not lead to positive outcomes, the relation between religiosity and social affiliation disappeared (but did not reverse). In Studies 2 and 3, when the target of the affiliation was explicitly identified as a member of a threatening out-group (atheist), religiosity did not predict affiliation behaviors. We discuss the mechanisms by which religiosity motivates and constrains social affiliation and the potential implications for social influence and intergroup processes.
