“Social exclusion caused a substantial reduction in prosocial behavior … The implication is that rejection temporarily interferes with emotional responses, thereby impairing the capacity for empathic understanding of others, and as a result, any inclination to help or cooperate with them is undermined.” ‘Social Exclusion Decreases Prosocial Behavior’.
