有些孩子对社会排斥的反应破坏了他们的关系，而另一些孩子则表现得更加平静。本文报告了3项研究，测试拒绝敏感性的命题-防御性的倾向（即，焦虑或愤怒）预期，容易察觉，并对社会拒绝反应过度-有助于解释个体对社会拒绝反应的差异。数据来自城市，少数民族（主要是西班牙裔和非洲裔美国人）五至七年级学生。研究1描述了儿童排斥敏感性测量的发展。研究2提供的实验证据表明，那些愤怒地期待被拒绝的孩子在被同伴意图不明的拒绝后表现出更高的痛苦。研究3表明，随着时间的推移，拒绝敏感的儿童表现得更具攻击性，人际交往困难增加，学业能力下降。
Some children respond to social rejection in ways that undermine their relationships, whereas others respond with more equanimity. This article reports 3 studies that test the proposition that rejection sensitivity-the disposition to defensively (i.e., anxiously or angrily) expect, readily perceive, and overreact to social rejection-helps explain individual differences in response to social rejection. Data were from urban, minority (primarily Hispanic and African American) fifth to seventh graders. Study 1 describes the development of a measure of rejection sensitivity for children. Study 2 provides experimental evidence that children who angrily expected rejection showed heightened distress following an ambiguously intentioned rejection by a peer. Study 3 shows that rejection sensitive children behaved more aggressively and experienced increased interpersonal difficulties and declines in academic functioning over time.
