Most relevant to the current investigation, past research has
suggested that specific beliefs may moderate the relationship between
ostracism and aggression. For example, ostracized participants with
destiny beliefs that relationships were fixed and unchangeable behaved
more aggressively than ostracized participants with growth beliefs that
relationships were changeable through effort . Moreover, in a simulated game of Russian roulette (Cyberbomb), ostracized people who were first primed with the belief that there is an afterlife behaved less aggressively than ostracized people who were primed with the belief that there is not an afterlife. The researchers explained the results by suggesting that a belief in the existence of an afterlife ensured feelings of belonging because it implied permanent companionship and acceptance from potential sources of affiliation such as family and friends.
Mevcut araştırmayla en alakalı olan geçmiş araştırmalar,
belirli inançların
dışlanma ve saldırganlık arasındaki ilişkiyi hafifletebileceğini ileri sürdü . Örneğin,
ilişkilerin sabit ve değiştirilemez olduğuna dair kader inançları olan
dışlanmış katılımcılar, büyüme inançları olan dışlanmış katılımcılardan daha agresif davrandılar .
