Twenge's research shows that when people experience the pain of social exclusion, it can have lasting effects. What are these effects, and what further effects arise from those primary effects? How might that affect others?
What will be an ideal response?
People who have been rejected/excluded are reluctant to expose themselves to the risk of repeat pain. As a result, they may feel less empathy, and thus not display much empathic behavior toward potential friends and associates. This may get in the way of building new social relationships they might want, which, in turn, may hurt whatever group(s) they want to be a part of.
