abstract="Social exclusion and rejection have deleterious effects on psychological well-being. Research documents the negative effects of social exclusion and rejection on  psychiatric problems like depression, social anxiety disorder, and non-suicidal  self-injury. Additionally, prior research suggests that individuals with and at-risk  for psychosis spectrum disorders may also be negatively affected by exclusion and  rejection. Moreover, those on the psychosis spectrum may be at an even greater risk  to experience social exclusion due to poor social functioning and the stigma  surrounding the disorder. This systematic review aimed to investigate how  individuals across the psychosis spectrum respond to social exclusion and rejection. We systematically searched PubMed and PsycINFO databases to identify studies that  met the following eligibility criteria: 1) investigated social exclusion or  rejection, 2) targeted a psychosis-related sample or symptoms, and 3) was an  empirical study. 13 studies satisfied our eligibility criteria and were subsequently  reviewed. Despite methodological variation and samples spanning the psychosis  spectrum, the majority of the literature supports the conclusion that those with  psychosis spectrum disorders report similar levels of exclusion-induced distress  compared to healthy controls, but process and cope with exclusion differently, both  behaviorally and neurobiologically.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
