“…This finding contributes to a growing body of research, which has found that various situational and individual factors can moderate the effects of ostracism on social cognition (e.g. Bernstein et al, 2014;Tanaka & Ikegami, 2015). Understanding the conditions under which ostracism elicits different cognitive biases is important, as these biases may predict how an individual will cope with social exclusion.…”

“…Our finding likely suggests that ostracism influences the gaze cone differently, depending on whether or not the ostracizers are physically present. The results of the current study contributes to an emerging body of evidence showing that exclusion can have variable effects on cognitive, evaluative, and perceptual processes, depending on situational factors (Bernstein, Sacco, Young, & Hugenberg, 2014;Smart Richman et al, 2016;Tuscherer et al, 2015).…”

I don’t need your attention: ostracism can narrow the cone of gaze

Previous research has shown that ostracized participants seek inclusive cues, such as gaze directed at them, when trying to reaffiliate. However, instead of seeking reinclusion, ostracized individuals may sometimes withdraw from interactions if not offered an opportunity for reaffiliation. In the current study, after an ostracism manipulation with no reaffiliation opportunity, participants judged whether faces portraying direct gaze or slightly averted gaze (2°-8° to the left and to the right) were looking at them or not. Compared to an inclusion group and a non-social control group, ostracized participants accepted a smaller range of gaze directions as being directed at them, i.e., they had a narrower "cone of gaze". The width of the gaze cone was equally wide in the inclusion and control groups. We propose that, without an opportunity for reaffiliation, ostracized participants may start to view other people as particularly unapproachable, possibly indicative of a motivational tendency to disengage from interactions.

“…In short, the way that we are fashioned into the people we are supposed to be happens (or doesn’t happen) through the ways that our personal relationships are ordered (this is also where our ecclesiology comes in) since the community of the church is the realm where such social transformation takes place to form a new community that loves and worships Jesus Christ. One way that findings in social and cognitive psychology help push or inform our understanding of creation is demonstrating and confirming just how malleable we are as humans in regards to our behavior, how connected and influenced we are by social realities, and how prone to bias we are due to our cognitive schemas that are shaped by social identities (Bartlett, 1932; Schacter, Norman, & Koutstaal, 1998; Bernstein, Sacco, Young, & Hugenberg, 2014). Given the prevalence of how social realities shape our view of others, our behavior represents one future direction that a theology of creation must continue to engage with since it reinforces the importance of the role that the church has in shaping and creating new social realities (Brown & Strawn, 2012).…”

This article considers what integration efforts in psychology would look like if informed by a trinitarian account of creation. Further theological reflection about the doctrine of creation reveals four key conclusions that are valuable for conceiving the relationship between theology and psychology: (1) The goodness of the created realm establishes the investigation and exploration of human nature through science and psychology; (2) Human nature can be explored through psychology because God’s providential care allows a certain “order” of creation to be preserved despite the reality of sin; (3) God endows humanity with creative abilities to discover and develop the created realm and culture through the science of psychology; (4) God’s trinitarian relations with the world establishes the theological basis for the social, embodied, and relational aspects of human nature that are able to be discerned through the study of psychology. The implications that these four key conclusions have for psychological research and clinical psychology will also be discussed.

“…A later study also reported that excluded participants, but not a control group, showed better recognition for previously learned in‐group faces as compared to outgroup faces (Van Bavel, Swencionis, O'Connor, & Cunningham, ), suggesting that excluded individuals were particularly good at remembering faces of individuals most likely to offer them inclusion. Another group of researchers investigated whether exclusion would modulate the ‘other‐race effect’, that is, the tendency to better recognize faces of individuals belonging to the same racial group as the perceiver, as compared to individuals from other racial groups (Bernstein, Sacco, Young, & Hugenberg, ). The researchers found that this effect was eliminated among participants who were first excluded by members of the racial outgroup, but not among control groups.…”

In this article, we review the research investigating the effects of social exclusion on processing of social information. We look into this topic from the point of view of cognitive psychology aiming to provide a systematic description of the effects of exclusion on workings of different cognitive mechanisms involved in social information processing. We focus on four lines of inquiry. First, we present the research on the effects of exclusion on memory for social information. Second, we review studies, which have investigated how exclusion changes the way people view and evaluate their social environment. Third, we look into the research which has investigated whether exclusion modulates early social information processing at the perceptual level. Finally, we discuss the research on the effects of exclusion on attentional processes. Importantly, we also present gaps in our understanding on these issues and provide suggestions as to how future research could provide a more detailed view on how exclusion modulates social information processing.
