The current research consisted of three studies (overall N = 338; 59 men; mean age = 19.98; SD = 1.75), which aimed to examine whether ostracism promotes aggression through enhanced feelings of rule negligence by adopting a multi-method approach. Participants were undergraduate students in a public university in Hong Kong and they only participated in one of the three studies. The results showed that ostracized participants reported higher levels of rule negligence and aggression than non-ostracized participants (Studies 1 and 2). Moreover, enhanced feelings of rule negligence significantly mediated the relation between ostracism and aggression (Studies 1 and 2). In addition, priming ostracized people with the importance of following social rules weakened the effect of ostracism on aggression (Study 3). In sum, these findings highlight the critical influence of rule negligence in understanding when and why ostracism promotes aggression and how to diminish such an effect. Implications were discussed.
当前的研究包括三项研究（总样本量N = 338；59名男性；平均年龄 = 19.98；标准差 = 1.75），其旨在通过采用多方法途径来检验排斥是否通过增强规则疏忽感来促进攻击性。参与者是香港一所公立大学的本科生，他们仅参与三项研究中的一项。结果表明，被排斥的参与者比未被排斥的参与者报告出更高水平的规则疏忽和攻击性（研究1和2）。此外，增强的规则疏忽感显著地介导了排斥与攻击性之间的关系（研究1和2）。另外，用遵守社会规则的重要性对被排斥者进行启动，削弱了排斥对攻击性的影响（研究3）。总之，这些发现凸显了规则疏忽在理解排斥何时以及为何会促进攻击性以及如何减少这种影响方面的关键作用。讨论了其意义。
