Based on the need-threat model, we hypothesized that "warmth rejection" threatens belongingness more than "competence rejection," whereas competence rejection threatens sense of efficacy more than warmth rejection. To restore threatened belongingness, warmth (vs. competence) rejection was predicted to result in higher affiliative responses. In contrast, to restore the threatened sense of efficacy, competence (vs. warmth) rejection would lead to higher self-focus. Across six studies, we found that the participants exhibited more affiliative responses after being rejected due to low warmth than due to low competence (Studies 1-6), whereas they became more self-focused after being rejected due to low competence than due to low warmth (Studies 3-6). Furthermore, the effect of warmth rejection on affiliation was mediated by perceived threat to belongingness (Studies 4-6), whereas the effect of competence rejection on self-focus was mediated by perceived threat to control and belongingness (Studies 4-6). The studies provided converging evidence that the effects of social rejection depend on the perception of why rejection occurs. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

温暖和能力社会排斥的不同影响：基于需求威胁模型的解释。

基于需求威胁模型，我们假设“温暖拒绝”比“能力拒绝”对归属感的威胁更大，而能力拒绝比温暖拒绝对效能感的威胁更大。为了恢复受到威胁的归属感，温暖（相对于能力）拒绝预计会导致更高的亲和反应。相反，为了恢复受到威胁的效能感，拒绝能力（相对于温暖）会导致更高的自我关注。在六项研究中，我们发现，与因能力低而被拒绝相比，参与者因热情低而被拒绝后表现出更多的亲和反应（研究 1-6），而由于能力低而被拒绝后，他们比因能力低而被拒绝后变得更加自我关注。温暖（研究 3-6）。此外，温暖拒绝对归属感的影响是由感知到的归属感威胁介导的（研究4-6），而能力拒绝对自我关注的影响是由感知到的控制和归属感威胁介导的（研究4-6）。这些研究提供了一致的证据，表明社会排斥的影响取决于对排斥发生原因的看法。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
