- Ostracism isn’t just a lab phenomenon, it’s part of daily life. To understand everyday occurrences of ostracism better, research has to move into daily life, too. Open Access paper: doi.org/10.1080/0022... 🧵
- This new paper reviews how experience sampling methods help researchers understand when, how, and for whom ostracism happens and what these insights may mean for future research, theory, and intervention.

- When does waiting for a reply turn into #ghosting? 👻💬 @sarahlutz.bsky.social and I introduce response delay tolerance: the amount of time someone is willing to wait for a response in #online messaging before feeling ignored. 🧵 image: SORA
- Across 8,000+ ratings of chat scenarios, we found: ❗️ People feel ghosted faster when messages are urgent. ⏱️ People also feel ghosted faster when chat partners are usually quick to reply. ❌ Closeness of the relationship didn’t predict response delay tolerance.
- Personality traits (like rejection sensitivity or #FOMO) didn’t predict response delay tolerance. However, delay tolerance predicts users’ friendly, confrontational, or avoidant follow-up behavior.
- Takeaway: Ghosting is a subjective experience. How long someone is willing to wait for a reply in online messaging meaningfully shapes its interpretation. Now out in Computers in Human Behavior 💛 #OpenAccess: doi.org/10.1016/j.ch... #SocialPsych #MediaPsych #PsychSciSky
- I am beyond excited to start my @snsf.ch PostdocMobility project with Prof Greg Walton @stanford.edu ! In the project we will look at how people think about their social energy 🔋🪫 and how to utilize those beliefs to make social interactions more positive and meaningful! #SocialPsych #PsychSciSky
- Reposted by Christiane Büttner📊Research shows people get excluded for two main reasons: breaking group norms or seeming unable to contribute. But researchers report that exclusion decisions are strategic, not just about disliking someone. Follow SPSP for more #EverydayPsych insights: ow.ly/sY2I50VVCa1

- 🎉 Together with @sarahlutz.bsky.social: New paper out in Computers in Human Behavior Reports! We asked: After being excluded online or offline do people cope by staying in the same space or by escaping it? 🧵: 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.ch...
- We captured 853 real-life episodes of social #exclusion, online and offline, using #experiencesampling (N = 323). Right after each event, participants reported how they wanted to cope: by turning to others online or offline.
- 📱We find that, after online exclusion, people were more likely to seek reconnection online. But offline exclusion didn’t prompt more in-person coping, although in-person coping was preferred overall.
- 👉 Bottom line: #socialmedia isn’t just where exclusion increasingly often happens, it’s also where people seek reconnection. Coping with exclusion may often mean staying put; digitally speaking. Wanna learn more? #openaccess paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.ch... #SocialPsych #MediaPsych #PsychSciSky

- Why do narcissists report being ostracized more often? In Journal of Personality and Social Psychology @apajournals.bsky.social w/ @selmarudert.bsky.social @ealbath.bsky.social CSibley RGreifeneder, we examine the link between #narcissism & #ostracism. 🔗 www.researchgate.net/publication/... A🧵:
- First, the key findings: Across two national surveys, a 14-day experience sampling study, and six experiments (N = 77,289), we find that grandiose narcissism is strongly linked to experiencing ostracism more frequently. But why? We identify three mechanisms:
- 🔹Mechanism 1: Negative perceptions - Narcissists are more sensitive to exclusion cues. Four experiments show that narcissists are more likely to perceive ambiguous situations (but not unambiguous situations like #Cyberball) as ostracism.
