Psychological Responses to Exclusion: Examining Rejection Sensitivity Pattern in Asian and European Patients Population

Abstract

Background: This article aims to investigate and compare rejection sensitivity patterns in patients from Asian and European cultural backgrounds who have experienced social exclusion. Rejection sensitivity, a psychological construct characterized by heightened responsiveness to perceived rejection, is often associated with negative psychological outcomes. By examining the experiences of exclusion and their impact on rejection sensitivity in patient populations across diverse cultural contexts, this study seeks to shed light on the interplay between socio-cultural influences and psychological and physiological responses to social exclusion.
