This study focused on the causes of ostracism and explored the relationship between altruistic personality traits and ostracism. Using a combination of questionnaire surveys and laboratory experiments, results showed that: individuals with lower altruism were more vulnerable to be ostracized than those with higher altruism (Study 1 and Study 2). The relationship between altruism and ostracism was partially mediated by social responsibility (Study 3). When facing a low-altruistic target, the source would infer that the social responsibility level of this target was also low, thereby leading the ostracism intention to the target. Empathy did not moderate the relationship between altruism and ostracism. On the one hand, empathy did not moderate the direct effect of altruism on ostracism (Study 2); on the other hand, it also did not moderate the mediating role of social responsibility (Study 3). The strengths and limitations of this research are also discussed.
本研究聚焦于被排斥的原因，并探讨了利他主义人格特质与被排斥之间的关系。通过问卷调查和实验室实验相结合的方式，结果表明：利他主义程度较低的个体比利他主义程度较高的个体更容易受到排斥（研究1和研究2）。利他主义与被排斥之间的关系部分由社会责任介导（研究3）。当面对一个利他主义程度较低的目标时，施动者会推断该目标的社会责任水平也较低，从而导致对该目标的排斥意图。同理心并未调节利他主义与被排斥之间的关系。一方面，同理心并未调节利他主义对被排斥的直接影响（研究2）；另一方面，它也未调节社会责任的中介作用（研究3）。本研究的优势与局限性也进行了讨论。
