Reactions to claimed and granted overinclusion: Extending research on the effects of claimball versus cyberball

Figures & data

Figure 1. Participants’ (n = 100) mean level of satisfaction of fundamental needs as a function of ostracism or overinclusion that was either claimed or granted. Standard errors are represented by the error bars attached to each column.

Figure 2. Participants’ (n = 100) mean level of meta-perceptions of their warmth and competence and mean level of self-perceptions of their warmth and competence as a function of ostracism or overinclusion that was either claimed or granted. Standard errors are represented by the error bars attached to each column.
