摘要: 替代性社会排斥是一种消极的社会互动现象，会对个体的情绪及基本需求造成威胁。童年期的创伤经历可能会使个体对替代性社会排斥更敏感，进而影响后续的行为反应。本研究使用改编的线上替代性社会排斥范式，考察童年期创伤组与健康控制组观察他人遭受排斥后情绪及基本需求评分的变化，同时记录参与者后续选择被排斥者合作的次数。结果发现，与健康控制组相比，童年期创伤组在经历替代性社会排斥后对自我以及受排斥者的情绪评价更消极，并在选人合作环节更多地选择受排斥者。结果提示童年期创伤个体在替代性社会排斥中产生了更强烈的情绪反应，并愿意做出更多的亲社会补偿行为，以缓解社会排斥中带来的痛苦体验。
Abstract: Vicarious ostracism is a negative form of social interaction that threatens individuals’ affect and basic psychological needs. Childhood traumatic experiences may heighten individuals’ sensitivity to vicarious ostracism, thereby shaping subsequent behavioral responses. Using an adapted online paradigm of vicarious ostracism, this study examined changes in affect and basic-needs ratings after participants observed another person being excluded, comparing a childhood trauma group with a healthy control group. We also recorded the number of times participants subsequently chose the excluded target as a cooperation partner. The results showed that, relative to the healthy control group, the childhood trauma group reported more negative emotional evaluations of both themselves and the excluded person following vicarious ostracism, and selected the excluded person more frequently in the partner-choice task. These findings suggest that individuals with childhood trauma exhibit stronger emotional reactions during vicarious ostracism and are more willing to engage in prosocial compensatory behavior to alleviate the distress associated with social exclusion.
