The authors proposed a process model whereby experiences of rejection based on membership in a devalued group can lead people to anxiously expect, readily perceive, and intensely react to status-based rejection. To test the model, the authors focused on race-based rejection sensitivity (RS-race) among African Americans. Following the development and validation of the RS-Race Questionnaire (Studies 1 and 2), the authors tested the utility of the model for understanding African American students' experiences at a predominantly White university (Study 3). Students high in RS-race experienced greater discomfort during the college transition, less trust in the university, and relative declines in grades over a 2- to 3-year period. Positive race-related experiences, however, increased feelings of belonging at the institution among students high in RS-race.
作者提出了一个过程模型，即基于所属贬值群体的成员身份而产生的被排斥经历会导致人们焦虑地预期、轻易地察觉并强烈地回应基于地位的排斥。为了验证该模型，作者聚焦于非裔美国人中基于种族的排斥敏感性（RS-种族）。在开发并验证了RS-种族问卷（研究1和2）之后，作者测试了该模型对于理解非裔美国学生在以白人为主的大学中的经历的效用（研究3）。RS-种族得分高的学生在大学过渡期间经历了更大的不适，对大学的信任度较低，并且在两到三年的时间里成绩相对下降。然而，与种族相关的积极经历增加了RS-种族得分高的学生在该机构中的归属感。
