This article talks about how people react when they are/feel excluded. Certain people have different coping mechanisms for this and reasons why they are hurt by being excluded. The authors in this article go in depth as to what factors could lead people to having a lower sense of fear that people get from exclusion and the psychology behind it all. The main theory of this article basically acknowledges the fact that people are discomforted by rejection and exclusions. When people are excluded they generally reach out to the friends they already have who they can count on. They then have a negative stigmatism towards those people who excluded them. When people are excluded or rejected they associate a certain type of pain or harm along with

First all the participants were to recall an experience from the past. They separated the participants into 2 groups where one group was to recall an experience of exclusion and in the other group to recall the last meal they ate; these participants would be the control group. All the participants were simulated to being able to fly or to be impervious to injury. They were then asked to report their desire to contact their in-group friends on a social connection scale from 1-7 (1 being not at all and 7 being very much). Participants in the control group with the simulation of being able to fly that recalled a time where they were excluded had an increased desire to contact friends than those that had the simulation of flight but rather only recalled the last meal they ate. The participants who has the experience of being excluded with the simulation of being invulnerable had a large disinterest in contacting their friends did the people with exclusion flight group. For the groups that had invulnerability with either recalling exclusion or their last meal had to dramatic difference in interest to contact friends. However, in the neutral primed groups (the ones that had to recall what they had last eaten) the group with the invulnerability simulation showed a much higher interest in reaching out to friends that those that had the ability to fly simulation.

The participants were to then recall a time where they were socially excluded or a negatively valenced control experience (this means a time where they had lost something special or valuable to them and never found it). They were then again randomly split into 2 groups being one which they simulated being invulnerable to injury or the ability to fly. The participants then used the same social connection scale used in study 2. The participants primed with exclusion with the simulation of invulnerability showed a much lower interest in contacting their friends than did the group with the ability to fly simulation. It is also noted that participants whether primed with exclusion or primed with loss did show any noticeable difference between each other. That goes to say the same for the loss primed participants in which if you had a flight simulation or invulnerability simulation the results were very like each other. Lastly participants who recalled a time of exclusion who had the simulation of being invulnerable showed a dramatically less concerned feeling about contacting their friends than the loss primed, invulnerable simulation group. I do think this was a good way to test their
