对社会拒绝敏感的人往往会焦虑地期待、容易地感知和过度反应，这篇文章表明这种认知情感处理倾向会破坏亲密关系。研究1描述了一种措施，可操作的焦虑期望组成部分的拒绝敏感性。研究2提供的实验证据表明，那些焦虑地期待被拒绝的人很容易在他人的模棱两可行为中感知到故意拒绝。研究3表明，那些带着被拒绝的焦虑期望进入浪漫关系的人很容易在他们的新伴侣的不敏感行为中感知到故意拒绝。研究4表明，对拒绝敏感的人及其浪漫伴侣对他们的关系不满意。对拒绝敏感的男人的嫉妒和女人的敌意以及对拒绝敏感的女人的不情愿有助于解释她们的伴侣的不满。
People who are sensitive to social rejection tend to anxiously expect, readily perceive, and overreact to it. This article shows that this cognitive-affective processing disposition undermines intimate relationships. Study 1 describes a measure that operationalizes the anxious-expectations component of rejection sensitivity. Study 2 provides experimental evidence that people who anxiously expect rejection readily perceive intentional rejection in the ambiguous behavior of others. Study 3 shows that people who enter romantic relationships with anxious expectations of rejection readily perceive intentional rejection in the insensitive behavior of their new partners. Study 4 demonstrates that rejection-sensitive people and their romantic partners are dissatisfied with their relationships. Rejection-sensitive men's jealousy and rejection-sensitive women's hostility and diminished supportiveness help explain their partners' dissatisfaction.
