Rejection experiences are likely to influence individuals’ subsequent feelings about others
and their behaviour in social interactions. The present study specifically examined whether
stigma-based rejection leads to decreased trust in others, compared to rejections that are not
stigma-based. Trust was assessed behaviourally with an online task where the interaction
partner was pre-programmed. Participants showed less trust after stigma-based rejection than
after a non-stigma based rejection. This research provides the first experimental evidence that
stigma-based rejection uniquely influences trust in others.
