一些研究表明，社会排斥导致情感和身体疼痛敏感性增加，而其他工作表明，排斥导致情感和身体疼痛麻木。这项研究试图研究是什么导致了这些相反的结果。在研究1中，用于实例化社会排斥的范例被发现缓和了社会排斥-身体疼痛的关系：未来生活排斥导致身体疼痛麻木，而赛博球排斥导致超敏反应。研究2探讨了潜在的机制，这是假设为严重程度的“社会伤害”。“参与者要么受到标准的未来生活排除操纵（据称是一种高度严重的社会伤害），要么受到新创建的不太严重的版本。支持我们的假设，标准（高度严重）的未来生活排除导致身体疼痛麻木，而不太严重的未来生活排除导致超敏反应。这些结果的影响，了解排斥疼痛的关系和其他排斥效应进行了讨论。
Some research indicates that social exclusion leads to increased emotional- and physical-pain sensitivity, whereas other work indicates that exclusion causes emotional- and physical-pain numbing. This research sought to examine what causes these opposing outcomes. In Study 1, the paradigm used to instantiate social exclusion was found to moderate the social exclusion-physical pain relation: Future-life exclusion led to a numbing of physical pain whereas Cyberball exclusion led to hypersensitivity. Study 2 examined the underlying mechanism, which was hypothesized to be the severity of the "social injury." Participants were subjected to either the standard future-life exclusion manipulation (purported to be a highly severe social injury) or a newly created, less-severe version. Supporting our hypothesis, the standard (highly severe) future-life exclusion led to physical-pain numbing, whereas the less-severe future-life exclusion resulted in hypersensitivity. Implications of these results for understanding the exclusion-pain relation and other exclusion effects are discussed.
