What are the interpersonal consequences of seeking solitude? Leading theories in developmental research have proposed that having a general preference for solitude may incur significant interpersonal costs, but empirical studies are still lacking. In five studies (total N = 1,823), we tested whether target individuals with a higher preference for solitude were at greater risk for ostracism, a common, yet extremely negative, experience. In studies using self-reported experiences (Study 1) and perceptions of others’ experiences (Study 2), individuals with a stronger preference for solitude were more likely to experience ostracism. Moreover, participants were more willing to ostracize targets with a high (vs. low) preference for solitude (Studies 3 and 4). Why do people ostracize solitude-seeking individuals? Participants assumed that interacting with these individuals would be aversive for themselves and the targets (Study 5; preregistered). Together, these studies suggest that seeking time alone has important (and potentially harmful) interpersonal consequences.

This study explored the interpersonal consequences of different levels of narcissism in male and female targets. The Narcissistic Personality Inventory and its four subscales were given to compare interpersonal responses of persons exhibiting extreme, moderate, and low scores on narcissism. Participants read one of four versions of the inventory completed by a fictitious student named “Tom” or “Ann.” Analyses indicated that, while gender of participant or target had no effect, participants expressed significantly less interest in further interaction and greater rejection of a person exhibiting extreme scores on narcissism than one with moderate scores, extreme scores on self-absorption and entitlement, and low narcissism scores.
