Ostracism-being ignored and excluded by others-is a ubiquitous experience with adverse effects on well-being. To prevent further exclusion and regain belonging, ostracized individuals are well advised to identify affiliation partners who are sincerely well-disposed. Humans' ability to detect lies, however, is generally not very high. Yet, veracity judgments can become more accurate with decreasing reliance on common stereotypic beliefs about the nonverbal behavior of liars and truth-tellers. We hypothesize that ostracized (vs. included) individuals base their veracity judgments less on such stereotypical nonverbal cues if message content is affiliation-relevant. In line with this hypothesis, Experiment 1 shows that ostracized (vs. included) individuals are better at discriminating affiliation-relevant lies from truths. Experiments 2 and 3 further show that ostracized (vs. included) individuals base their veracity judgments less on stereotypical nonverbal cues if messages are of high (but not low) affiliation relevance.
被忽视和排斥是一种普遍存在的经历，会对幸福感产生不良影响。为了防止进一步被排斥和重新获得归属感，被排斥的个体最好能够识别出真诚友善的同伴。然而，人类识别谎言的能力通常不是很高。但是，如果减少对说谎者和诚实者非言语行为的常见刻板印象的依赖，准确性判断可以变得更加准确。我们假设，如果信息内容与归属感相关，那么被排斥（与被包含）的个体在真实性判断上较少依赖于这种刻板的非言语线索。实验 1 表明，与被包含的个体相比，被排斥的个体更善于区分与归属感相关的谎言和真相，这与该假设一致。实验 2 和 3 进一步表明，如果消息具有较高（而不是较低）的归属感相关性，那么被排斥的个体（与被包含的个体相比）在真实性判断上较少依赖于刻板的非言语线索。
