Research output: Book/Report › Book › peer-review

Abstract

"Ostracism 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. Kipling D. Williams offers a new perspective on a crucial aspect of human experience. He also presents an exemplary model for programmatic and multimethod research."
