According to the temporal need-threat model, different responses toward social exclusion stem from the fact that different needs are threatened. Because evidence for this account is mixed, we tested a goal-directed account in which the chosen behavior depends not only on the threatened need but also on the behavior that has the highest expectancy of repairing that need. In two experiments, participants were excluded using the cyberball paradigm. They were then either assigned to a condition in which they could choose to send aggressive or prosocial messages to the other players or to a condition in which they could send aggressive, prosocial, or moralizing messages. We hypothesized that the expectancy to repair threatened needs would be higher for moralizing behavior than for aggressive and prosocial behavior, which would result in moralizing behavior in the second condition. Both experiments provided partial support for our hypothesis, suggesting that the reactions to social exclusion might be goal directed.

当被社会排斥的人更喜欢道德化而不是反社会和亲社会行为时：支持目标导向的帐户

根据时间需求威胁模型，对社会排斥的不同反应源于不同需求受到威胁这一事实。由于该帐户的证据不一，因此我们测试了一个目标导向的帐户，在该帐户中，所选择的行为不仅取决于受到威胁的需求，而且还取决于能够最大程度地修复需求的行为。在两个实验中，使用电子球范式排除了参与者。然后，他们要么被分配给可以选择向其他玩家发送侵略性或亲社会性信息的条件，要么被分配给可以向其他玩家发送侵略性，亲社会性或道德化信息的条件。我们假设，道德行为要比受到攻击的行为和亲社会行为的预期期望更高，在第二种情况下，这将导致行为道德化。这两个实验都为我们的假设提供了部分支持，表明对社会排斥的反应可能是目标导向的。
