Ostracism : The Power of Silence Paperback / softback
by Kipling D. Williams
Part of the Emotions and Social Behavior series
Paperback / softback
Description
Ostracism is among the most powerful means of social influence.
From schoolroom time-outs or the silent treatment from a family member or friend, to governmental acts of banishment or exile, ostracism is practiced in many contexts, by individuals and groups.
This lucidly written book provides a comprehensive examination of this pervasive phenomenon, exploring the short- and long-term consequences for targets as well as the functions served for those who exclude or ignore.
Within a cogent theoretical framework, an exemplary research program is presented that makes use of such diverse methods as laboratory experiments, surveys, narrative accounts, interviews, Internet-based research, brief role-plays, and week-long simulations.
The resulting data shed new light on how ostracism affects the individual's coping responses, self-esteem, and sense of belonging and control.
Informative and timely, this book will be received with interest by researchers, practitioners, and students in a wide range of psychological disciplines.
