TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Effects of intergroup exclusion on individual needs threat and behavior tendencies JO - Scandinavian journal of psychology A1 - Yang, Xiao Li A1 - Wei, Li A1 - Zhao, Qing Hua A1 - Liu, Li SP - 429 EP - 435 VL - 58 IS - 5 N2 - This study explores the effects of intergroup exclusion on need-threat and the behavioral tendencies of excluded individuals.

RESULTS show that those excluded by in-group members perceived more threat to relational needs, while participants excluded by out-group members perceived more threat to efficacy needs. In addition, participants excluded by out-group members displayed significantly more aggression intention and less helping intention than those who were excluded by in-group members. This study indicates that the group relationship between excluders and the excluded will directly affect threat perception and behavioral responses.
