411-01: They Love Me, They Love Me Not—And Why It Matters?

Interpersonal acceptance-rejection is significant for understanding socioemotional development and psychopathology. This symposium presents empirical literature on interpersonal acceptance-rejection by bringing together evidence from psychology and neuroscience. First paper explains the concepts, consequences, causes, and other correlates of interpersonal acceptance and rejection, especially highlighting the effects on children and adults of perceived parental acceptance-rejection. Second paper presents a meta-analysis of experimental studies on how experiences of interpersonal rejection influences self-esteem and emotions. Third paper presents findings from a seven-year longitudinal study on parental warmth and children’s developmental outcomes. The last paper discusses the ways in which interpersonal acceptance-rejection are managed and encoded in the human brain. It concludes by integrating findings from different methodological perspectives and discusses an integrative approach of family science and neurobiology.

Objectives

- We propose that some of the most direct and conclusive evidence for the notion that mental representations formed in early attachment relationships guide interpersonal behaviors throughout human lifespan.
- Why clinical and typically developing sample self-report similar intensity of experiencing interpersonal rejection but the neural correlates are not coherent with the self-reported distress after experiencing rejection?
- To understand interpersonal acceptance and rejection from various research perspectives including, ethnographic field-work, self-report measures, longitudinal research perspective, laboratory based behavioral experiments, and manipulation of rejection from a neurobiological perspective.

Keywords: biobehavioral processes, adversity, relationships
