“…Consistent with this finding, perceived exclusion and rejection decrease people's willingness to engage in social situations in which they might be vulnerable to others (e.g., Murray, Derrick, Leder, & Holmes, 2008). They are less willing to make sacrifices to benefit others (Twenge, Baumeister, DeWall, Ciarocco, & Bartels, 2007) and are more willing to aggress against others (Twenge et al, 2001).…”

This article examines how perceiving concealment in close relationships influences marital well-being. It suggests that the perception of concealment from a partner signals separateness from one’s partner and contributes to feelings of perceived partner exclusion. These feelings of exclusion, in turn, should negatively affect relational quality. These predictions are tested in a prospective study among 199 newlywed couples. Results suggest that perceiving concealment reduced marital adjustment and trust and increased conflict over time. Importantly, change in perceived partner exclusion mediated these effects. This article demonstrates that the perception of concealment (a) has deleterious effects on relational well-being in the long run and (b) is harmful in part because it elicits feelings of exclusion.

“…And only self-appraisal does not have a significant impact on destructive behavior; its mediator is the relationship of social inclusion (Twenge, Baumeister, Tice, & Stucke, 2001). Low social inclusion reduces prosocial behavior and leads to more traumatic consequences of the destructive behavior of teenagers and young men (Twenge, Baumeister, DeWall, Ciarocco & Bartels, 2007). So, following the logic of studying the influence of self-appraisal parameters on destruction, it is possible to build a unified mechanism of destructive behavior.…”

The article deals with the problem of developing a general mechanism for adults' destructive behavior. The purpose of the research is to study the relationship between the representation of intra-, inter-and metapersonal objects of destructive impact and also the evaluation of the contribution of violence as a means of implementing destructiveness. The empirical hypotheses are: a) the presence of relations between the objects of destructive influence and b) the influence of the concept of violence on the specification of the destruction object. The study is carried out through questionnaires and takes into account 188 adults (age: M = 33.7, SD = 4.21, gender -46% male, 52% female).The first hypothesis is not confirmed: representations of destruction objects are not conjugate with one another, which indicates the isolated and non-contiguous nature of adults' destructive actions and does not conform to the data of studies of destructive behavior of teenagers and youth groups. The second hypothesis supported the idea that violence concretizes representations about objects of destruction.Regardless of the type of violence, its level contributes to the strengthening of ideas about the destroyed object. The obtained results show the prospects for developing the concept of a general mechanism of destructive behavior from the point of view of the psychological behavior theory.

“…This social isolation, and the resultant stifling of social identity formation, tends to reduce individuals' motivation to act to the benefit of other in-group members (e.g. Twenge et al, 2007). Interactions with relational others that strengthen an individual's sense of belongingness enable the formation of a social identity including the relational other, leading to increases in prosocial motivation.…”

Seeking to Belong: How the Words of Internal and External Beneficiaries Influence Performance

In this paper, we examine how connecting to beneficiaries of one's work increases performance, and argue that beneficiaries internal to an organization (i.e., one's own colleague) can serve as an important source of motivation, even in jobs that -on the surface -may seem routine and low on potential impact. We suggest that this occurs because words of beneficiaries strengthen one's sense of belongingness, a key driver of human behavior. Employees, in fact, seek to belong-and seek to enhance their sense of belongingness in work settings. We conducted two studies using both field and laboratory data from different populations to investigate the psychological consequences and performance benefits of connecting to beneficiaries of one's work. In a longitudinal field experiment of fruit harvesters, we find that though beneficiary contact with the overall customer did not significantly improve productivity, contact with an internal beneficiary that made connectedness salient yielded a persistent increase in productivity relative to a control group. We validate this effect in the laboratory, and provide evidence that the effect is mediated by an enhanced sense of belongingness.
