“…In the context of social exclusion, self‐affirmation strategies have been used in the adult population with promising results (Burson, Crocker, & Mischkowski, ; Hales et al, ). For children and adolescents, to our knowledge, only one study has indirectly implemented a strategy connected to self‐affirmation against exclusion (Baldwin, Baccus, & Milyavskaya, ). In their experiment, the authors used a conditioning intervention.…”

Over 20 years of research has shown that social exclusion is a pervasive and powerful form of social threat. Social exclusion causes a wide variety of negative outcomes including negative emotions and threats to fundamental human needs (i.e., self-esteem). Most importantly, experiencing exclusion during childhood or adolescence can provoke long-term negative effects such as depression and anxiety disorders.Despite the growing interest in this domain, only recent studies have started to examine possible coping strategies to contrast the negative effects of exclusion. In this article, we first review the empirical findings concerning the consequences of social exclusion in children and adolescent populations. Second, we focus on cognitive and socio-emotional strategies that children and adolescents can use to deal with exclusion when it has occurred. Implications and future directions are discussed.

“…Compared with those in a control condition, participants in the training condition showed an increase in positive automatic associations with the self (Baccus et al, 2004). In a subsequent study, a similar intervention led to a reduction in adolescents' aggressive feelings and intentions in response to social rejection (Baldwin, Baccus, & Milyavskaya, 2010). Martijn et al (2010) investigated whether body satisfaction could be increased using an adapted evaluative conditioning procedure.…”

Objective: The aim was to investigate whether a computer-based evaluative conditioning intervention improves body image in adolescents with an eating disorder. Positive effects were found in earlier studies in healthy female students in a laboratory and a field setting. This study is the first to test evaluative conditioning in a clinical sample under less controlled circumstances. Method: Fifty-one adolescent girls with an eating disorder and a healthy weight were randomly assigned to an experimental condition or a placebo-control condition. The computerized intervention consisted of six online training sessions of 5 minutes, in which participants had to click on pictures of their own and other people's bodies. Their own pictures were systematically followed by portraits of friendly smiling faces. In the control condition, participants were shown the same stimuli, but here, a stimulus was always followed by another stimulus from the same category, so that own body was not paired with smiling faces. Before, directly after, three weeks after and 11 weeks after the intervention, self-report measures of body image and general self-esteem were administered. Automatic selfassociations were also measured with an Implicit Association Test (IAT). Results: In contrast to our hypotheses, we did not find an effect of the intervention on self-report questionnaires measuring body satisfaction, weight and shape concern, and general self-esteem. In addition, the intervention did not show positive effects on implicit associations regarding selfattractiveness. Conclusions: These findings do not support the use of evaluative conditioning in its present form as an intervention for adolescents in clinical practice.

“…Self-affirmation in particular is linked with lower aggression after social exclusion (e.g. Baldwin et al, 2010). Since recalling positive memories fits into both of these categories, it is likely a helpful coping strategy following social exclusion.…”
