Q2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Social exclusion and the deconstructed state: time perception, meaninglessness, lethargy, lack of emotion, and self-awareness" ?
One of the main components of the deconstructed state of suicidal patients is a focus on the present instead of the future. Suicidal people find it difficult to think about the future ( Neuringer & Harris, 1974 ), and they can not make elaborate predictions about the future ( Yufit & Benzies, 1973 ). Many seem unable to envision the future and even unable to name any potential consequences of killing themselves ( Weiss, 1957 ). They focus on the present and do not wish to deal with the future.
Q3. How many participants were in the course requirement for introductory psychology?
The participants were 43 undergraduates (23 men, 20 women) participating as part of a course requirement for introductory psychology.
Q4. Why did the experimenter step aside to the right?
Because the mirror was counterbalanced (it was sometimes on the right side of the room and sometimes on the left), the experimenter’s stepping aside to the right should not create any particular response set in the participants.
Q5. What did the experimenter do to reduce unconscious behavior?
By being consistent across all participants, the experimenter hoped to reduce any unconscious nonverbal or verbal behaviors that might confirm expectancies.
Q6. What is the argument that the faster reaction time on these trials supports?
The faster reaction time on these trials supports the argument that automatic processes have begun to take over this function, leading to fewer differences between the experimental conditions.
Q7. What theory had led us to expect that emotional distress would be a major, powerful result?
Intuition and theory had previously led us to expect that emotional distress would be a major, powerful result and that the behavioral consequences of social exclusion would be mediated by that distress.
Q8. What adjectives were used to describe the mood of the participants?
These included 8 adjectives describing positive affect (e.g., happy, calm) and 33 describing negative affect (e.g., angry, nervous, fearful, ashamed).
Q9. Why do people shift to low levels of meaningful thought?
People shift to low levels of meaningful thought partially because they are reluctant to focus thoughtful attention on themselves; such attention would lead to distressing and painful reflections on one’s flaws or inadequacies.
Q10. How accurate were the participants' estimates of the time they were asked to judge?
When asked to judge a 40-s time interval, rejected participants estimated that more than a minute had passed (M 63.71), whereas accepted participants were fairly accurate in their estimate (M 42.50), F(1, 37) 8.58, p .006.
Q11. What did the experimenter do instead of leading the participant into the room?
Instead of leading the participant into the room, the experimenter always stood just beyond the threshold of the doorway while she commented that the second experimenter was absent.
Q12. What did the participants have to do to rate their mood?
All of these studies used explicit mood measures, in which participants were explicitly asked to rate their current mood on a variety of adjectives.
