The upcoming Handbook of Individual Differences in Social Behavior, edited by Mark Leary and Rick Hoyle, features a chapter on sensitivity to rejection (RS) that summarizes research conducted by the Social Relations Lab and its associates. This compendium of contemporary research on dispositions that moderate social behavior is a must-have for any researchers utilizing dynamic, cognitive-affective models of interpersonal interactions.
The chapter on RS summarizes work on the sensitivity to interpersonal rejection and work on sensitivity to status-based rejection and sensitivity to rejection due to specific traits (e.g., looks). The chapter includes an overview of Downey's conceptualization of RS as a defensive motivational system as well as an overview of findings about RS-race, RS-gender, RS-appearance and, RS-sexual orientation.
Critical Praise for the handbook:
"Leary and Hoyle have gathered together a set of creative social scientists who have written compelling chapters on nearly 40 dispositions and their influence on social processes and outcomes. This volume will be stimulating reading for graduate students in personality and social psychology, and it reveals why the boundary between personality and social psychology is not especially meaningful. A wonderfully conceived project!"—Peter Salovey, PhD, Chris Argyris Professor of Psychology and Provost, Yale University
The Handbook of Individual Differences in Social Behavior will be released in June of 2009.
