Previous studies about the effects of social rejection on individuals' social behaviors have produced mixed results and tend to study mating behaviors from a static point of view. However, mate selection in essence is a dynamic process, and therefore sociometer theory opens up a new perspective for studying mating and its underlying practices. Based on this theory and using self-perceived mate value in the relationship between heterosexual rejection and mate choice as a mediating role, this current study examined the effects of heterosexual rejection on mate choice in two experiments. Results showed that heterosexual rejection significantly reduced self-perceived mate value, expectation, and behavioral tendencies, while heterosexual acceptance indistinctively increased these measures. Self-perceived mate value did not serve as a mediator in the relationship between heterosexual rejection and mate expectation, but it mediated the relationship between heterosexual rejection and mating behavior tendencies toward potential objects. Moreover, individuals evaded both rejection and irrelevant people when suffering from rejection.
以往关于社会排斥对个体社会行为影响的研究结果不一，且倾向于从静态角度研究交配行为。然而，择偶本质上是一个动态过程，因此社会计量理论为研究择偶及其潜在行为开辟了一个新视角。基于该理论，并将异性恋关系中的自我感知配偶价值作为异性排斥与择偶之间的中介作用，本研究通过两个实验考察了异性排斥对择偶的影响。结果表明，异性排斥显著降低了自我感知配偶价值、期望和行为倾向，而异性接纳则对这些指标有不明显的提升。自我感知配偶价值在异性排斥与配偶期望之间的关系中并未起到中介作用，但它在异性排斥与对潜在对象的交配行为倾向之间起到了中介作用。此外，个体在遭受排斥时会回避排斥者和无关的人。
