This article reviews the literature on the relationship between interpersonal rejection and aggression. Four bodies of research are summarized: laboratory experiments that manipulate rejection, rejection among adults in everyday life, rejection in childhood, and individual differences that may moderate the relationship. The theoretical mechanisms behind the effect are then explored. Possible explanations for why rejection leads to anger and aggression include: rejection as a source of pain, rejection as a source of frustration, rejection as a threat to self-esteem, mood improvement following aggression, aggression as social influence, aggression as a means of reestablishing control, retribution, disinhibition, and loss of self-control.
本文综述了关于人际排斥与攻击行为之间关系的文献。总结了四个研究领域：操纵排斥的实验室实验、成年人在日常生活中的排斥、童年期的排斥以及可能调节这种关系的个体差异。随后探讨了该效应背后的理论机制。排斥导致愤怒和攻击行为的可能解释包括：排斥作为痛苦来源、排斥作为挫折来源、排斥作为对自尊的威胁、攻击后情绪改善、攻击作为社会影响、攻击作为重新建立控制的手段、报复、去抑制以及自我控制丧失。
