{"product_id":"9781572308312","title":"Ostracism 2\/e","description":"\u003cp\u003eOstracism is among the most powerful means of social influence. From schoolroom time-outs or the \"silent treatment\" from a family member or friend, to governmental acts of banishment or exile, ostracism is practiced in many contexts, by individuals and groups. This illuminating book provides a comprehensive examination of this pervasive phenomenon, exploring the short- and long-term consequences for targets as well as the functions served for those who exclude or ignore. Within a cogent theoretical framework, an exemplary research program is presented that makes use of such diverse methods as laboratory experiments, surveys, narrative accounts, interviews, internet-based research, brief role-plays, and week-long simulations. The resulting data shed new light on how ostracism affects the individual's coping responses, self-esteem, and sense of belonging and control.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE GUILFORD PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185560715538,"sku":"9781572308312","price":77.84,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781572308312.jpg?v=1774736382","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781572308312","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
