Answer to Question 1

Answer:
Individuals who are socially excluded are less likely to help others. This is primarily because the fear of social rejection makes socially excluded individuals be more cautious when interacting with others. Therefore they are less likely to take risks by offering to help others. Research was done in which participants filled out a questionnaire and were told their responses indicated they would either be alone in life or have a life rich in personal relationships. They were then given the opportunity to give some of the money they earned in the study to a fund to help needy students. Participants were less likely to donate if they had been told they would be alone in later life.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
People who have been rejected/excluded are reluctant to expose themselves to the risk of repeat pain. As a result, they may feel less empathy, and thus not display much empathic behavior toward potential friends and associates. This may get in the way of building new social relationships they might want, which, in turn, may hurt whatever group(s) they want to be a part of.
