What Are Social Acceptance and Social Rejection?
“Social acceptance occurs on a continuum that ranges from merely tolerating another person’s presence to actively pursuing someone as a relationship partner. Social rejection means that others have little desire to include you in their groups and relationships (Leary, 2010). Social rejection also is a complex construct, consisting of behaviors that can range from ignoring another person’s presence to actively expelling him or her from a group or existing relationship. People can experience acceptance and rejection chronically or acutely”
