Abstract:

A social species is born within groups and continues to live as a member of certain groups. Therefore, acceptance in social relationships and participation in groups is a fundamental motivation and need observed in all cultures (Baumeister and Leary, 1995). On the other hand, not being accepted by others and not satisfying the need to belong to it is a situation that we often encounter in social life. The “social exclusion” which contains the concepts of neglect, neglect, and rejection leads to a series of behavioral, emotional, cognitive and physiological effects on individuals. In this study, it is intended to provide a comprehensive study of the subject, based on the research that deals with the fact of exclusion from a social psychological point of view. In addition to the pioneering studies in the field, current literature was also taken into account and first the fact of exclusion was discussed conceptual and historically, then in experimental studies the main methods used to provide the experience of exclusion to participants were discussed and the effects of social exclusion on individuals were discussed. Finally, the theoretical approaches that attempt to explain the fact of exclusion were discussed.
