 And what did those studies of acceptance and rejection look at? So we'd have people come to the laboratory and interact with someone and either be accepted or rejected or, again, a neutral control, and then measure their subsequent behavior in a variety of contexts. Are they more aggressive towards someone else? Are they more helpful? Do they do more stupid, short-sighted, self-destructive things? Over and over again, the effect of rejection is stronger than the effect of acceptance on all these different variables.
