“…However, Dijke et al [18] study finds nostalgia buffers (i.e., weakens) the deleterious impact of low (compared to high) procedural justice on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and cooperation with authorities. Study 1 using survey method, recruit 130 staff, they be employed in an organization and have a supervisor (i.e., not be self-employed).Participants will respond the procedures justice, OCB, and nostalgia proneness scales online.…”

Nostalgia is a kind of socio-emotional that refers to personal sentimentality caused by recalling objects, people, places, experiences or feelings from the past. Studies have found nostalgia has a positive effect on the mental health and can also promote pro-social behavior of individuals. This paper reviews the promoting effect of nostalgia on the altruism, commonweal and social rule and relational pro-social behaviors. Moreover, the author puts forward possible psychological mechanisms and theoretical explanations. Future studies should further investigate the relevant psychological mechanism and moderated effects of individual differences, the study on the refinement of the nostalgia and pro-social behavior researches.

“…Our second goal was to examine if nostalgia increases identification following group‐based exclusion. Reflecting on nostalgic experiences strengthens social bonds (Sedikides et al, ; Stephan et al, ; Van Dijke et al, ; Wildschut et al, , , ; Zhou et al, ). On this basis, we hypothesized that those participants who experienced strong nostalgia would identify more strongly with the national ingroup.…”

“…Nostalgia, however, may counteract the process of disidentification. Reflecting on nostalgic experiences strengthens social bonds (Sedikides et al, 2016;Stephan et al, 2014;Van Dijke, Wildschut, Leunissen, & Sedikides, 2015;Wildschut et al, 2006Wildschut et al, , 2010Wildschut, Bruder, Robertson, Van Tilburg, & Sedikides, 2014;Zhou et al, 2012). Accordingly, nostalgizing should strengthen identification among Greek nationals.…”

We proposed that nostalgia, by virtue of its sociality, can be an indirect strategy to counteract relational deficiencies stemming from group-based exclusion. We instructed Greek participants to recall an event in which they experienced exclusion on the basis of their nationality versus a control event. We anticipated that participants would react to groupbased exclusion with increased nostalgia. Specifically, because low attachment-related avoidance facilitates proximity-seeking in response to distress, we hypothesised that groupbased exclusion would increase nostalgia (a form of proximity-seeking) more strongly when avoidance is low. Results supported this moderation hypothesis. In turn, increased nostalgia in response to group-based exclusion predicted stronger ingroup identification. For lowavoidants, then, group-based exclusion fortified ingroup identification via increased nostalgia (moderated mediation).Keywords: nostalgia, group-based exclusion, attachment-related avoidance, attachment-related anxiety, ingroup identification 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 More importantly, nostalgia is a social emotion (Holak & Havlena, 1992;Sedikides et al., 2015). It represents the human ability to draw strength from memories of close others. In particular, nostalgia promotes perceptions of friendship and social support, engenders subjective interpersonal competence, and prompts prosocial behaviour (e.g., strongerintentions to volunteer and donate to charity, higher charitable donations, increased helping; Stephan et al., 2014;Wildschut et al., 2006;Zhou, Wildschut, Sedikides, Shi, & Feng, 2012). Nostalgia in Response to Relational DeficienciesIndividuals have a fundamental need to belong (Baumeister & Leary, 1995; Tajfel & Turner, 1986). They form social bonds with ease (Festinger, Schachter, & Back, 1950) and resist vehemently their dissolution (Vaughan, 1986). They often rely on social bonds for intimacy and protection when threatened, and those with strong social bonds experience better psychological and physical well-being (Cohen & Wills, 1985;Sarason, Sarason, & Gurung, 1997). When individuals experience relational deficiencies, they activate compensatory mechanisms (Williams, Forgas, & von Hippel, 2005). Gardner, Pickett, andKnowles (2005) distinguished between direct and indirect compensatory mechanisms or Lonely (vs. non-lonely) participants reported lower levels of social support but felt more nostalgic. Nostalgia, in turn, predicted stronger social support. Thus, whereas the direct effect of loneliness was to undermine perceptions of social support, the indirect effect of loneliness was to augment perceptions of social support via nostalgia. Nostalgia counteracted the negative effect of loneliness on social support. Attachment and Regulation of Relational DeficienciesMore recently, Wildschut, Sedikides, R...

“…Furthermore, nostalgic engagement is an effective way to reinforce a sense of meaning in life and thereby evade existential threat (Routledge, Arndt, Sedikides, & Wildschut, ; Routledge et al, ; Routledge, Sedikides, Wildschut, & Juhl, ). In all, nostalgic reflection contributes to psychological equanimity (Routledge, Wildschut, Sedikides, & Juhl, ; Sedikides, Wildschut, Arndt, & Routledge, ; Van Dijke, Wildschut, Leunissen, & Sedikides, ).…”

Nostalgia is often triggered by feelings-such as sadness, loneliness, or meaninglessness-that are typically associated with withdrawal motivation. Here, we examined whether a trait tendency to experience withdrawal motivation is associated with nostalgia proneness. Past work indicates that baseline right-frontal cortical asymmetry is a neural correlate of withdrawal-related motivation. We therefore hypothesized that higher baseline levels of right-frontal asymmetry would predict increased proneness to nostalgia. We assessed participants' baseline levels of frontal cortical activity using EEG. Results supported the hypothesis and demonstrated that the association between relative right-frontal asymmetry and increased nostalgia remained significant when controlling for the Big Five personality traits. Overall, these findings indicate that individuals with a stronger dispositional tendency to experience withdrawal-related motivation are more prone to nostalgia.
