Replication Data for: Seeking solitude after being ostracized: A replication and beyond.

A recent paper provides evidence for a third response: solitude seeking, suggesting that ostracized individuals may ironically engage in self-perpetuating behaviors which exacerbate social isolation. To examine this counterintuitive response to ostracism, we conceptually replicated the original paper in three studies.

Study 1: correlational, drew from departmental testweek data. Ostracism experiences were associated with preference for solitude across four samples. Study 2: experimental, drew from a classroom activity.
