人际拒绝会威胁到人们作为有能力、有吸引力的个体的身份认同。这项研究考察了人们通过贬低那些拒绝他们的人，并得出拒绝者不了解他们的结论，来缓冲自己受到拒绝的影响的可能性。参与者被引导相信一个队长已经选择了他们作为实验室团队的第一名或最后一名，然后给队长打分，并指出他或她对他们的了解程度。结果显示，与那些最先被选中的人相比，最后被选中的参与者对队长的评价不那么积极，对与队长交朋友的兴趣也不那么大，并且表明队长对他们的了解也不那么深。中介分析表明，队长的评级是由感知到的拒绝介导的，而贬低有助于保持参与者在拒绝后的积极影响。
Interpersonal rejection poses a threat to people's identities as competent, desirable individuals. This study examined the possibility that people buffer themselves against the implications of rejection by derogating those who reject them and by concluding that the rejector did not know them well. Participants were led to believe that a team captain had selected them either first or last for a laboratory team, then rated the captain and indicated how well he or she knew them. Results showed that, compared to those who were selected first for the team, participants who were selected last rated the team captains less positively, were less interested in having them as friends, and indicated that the captains knew them less well. Mediational analyses suggested that ratings of the captains were mediated by, perceived rejection and that derogation helped to maintain participants' positive affect following rejection.
