简要总结
This experimental, anonymous labor study aims to examine how experiences of social exclusion influence individuals in their fairness-behaviour, psychophysical reactions, and emotion regulation depending on their extent of bitterness. Points given for fairness reasons, just world belief, rejection sensitivity, well-being, cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and heart rate variability (HRV) are measured and analyzed using structural equation modeling and multiple regression.
详细描述
Embitterment is defined as an emotional response due to an event which is subjectively perceived as unjust. Nonetheless, there is little empiric evidence of unjust behaviour by others in the interpersonal context that triggers embitterment reactions. Ostracism, is an act where a person is excluded from a social environment without any reasons. This experimental labor study examines how the experiences of this form of social exclusion influences individuals depending on their self-evaluated embitterment. That is, fairness-behaviour is assessed as well as changes in hearth rate variability.

结局指标
主要结局
Points for Fairness
时间窗: After the second Cyberball intervention (exclusion of the subject or the avatar), at approx. 30 minutes from baseline.
Asked after the second Cyberball game session. Each participant will be asked, how many of their "earned" points (from the first Cyberball round) they are willing to compensate for fairness reasons towards the group. This is assessed by a Likert scale ranging from 0 - 14; giving zero points it the least one can give, 14 is the maximum.
Changes in Heart Rate Variability (HRV; RMSSD) from baseline (t0)
时间窗: After approx. 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 minutes from baseline.
Changes in Heart Rate Variability (RMSSDs) are assessed using the hardware of BIOPAC Systems. The extraction and analysis of the RMSSDs are performed with Kubios HRV premium (software).
