When providing feedback for my ACURA project, most people thought it would be a good idea if I specifically focused on one age group affected by social exclusion. I realized that although the research I did consisted of experiments between people ages eighteen to twenty-four, I failed to mention that in my project. Although there are many articles on social exclusion, there are not many on specific age groups. There are also not many articles on the effect of social exclusion in romantic relationships; therefore, I have decided to change my research question to: How does social exclusion affect internal processes? Is the effect on children different? I have also realized that some of my research articles such as: decreased interoceptive accuracy following social exclusion, references my ACURA professor, Michael J. Bernstein's article: Social exclusion and pain sensitivity: why exclusion sometimes hurts and sometimes numbs.  Keywords: social exclusion, rejection, power, connec...

Hello Dr. Bernstein! My name is Torie Moctezuma and I have been researching social exclusion in my English class. I have noticed that you have been studying social exclusion and its impact on the human mind. Not only have your publications, “Exclusion and its impact on social information processing”, “Social exclusion and pain sensitivity: Why exclusion sometimes hurts and sometimes numbs”, etc., interested me as well but I find it especially thought-provoking that you have stated “social exclusion is a signal to an evolutionary danger of being alone.” I would really like to do more research on social exclusion and how it affects romantic relationships and in my opinion you are the perfect person to team up with on this for a possible acura project. I would greatly appreciate if you consider my offer. Thank you.

WP2 Project  Conventions: citations, keywords, audience, research Ingredients: detailed, easy to understand, precise  Elevator Pitch What makes an elevator pitch an elevator pitch is being able to provide a hook for an idea you are trying to sell. This is the ability to condense one whole big idea into a pitch that is less than a minute long. The first video was good because it gave me a sense of what an elevator pitch is but it wasn't as realistic because it's from a movie and it didn't seems as serious. the second video was also good, however, from my perspective his pitch didn't have a hook. The last video was my favorite because it was an actual pitch competition. Not only did he start off by providing a hook but he also provided information on how much money it would cost and how long it would take to develop.    Did not meet Expectations Met Expectations Exceeded Expectations Correct citations Identified argument...

In the first article, Pain Processing after Social Exclusion and its Relation to Rejection Sensitivity , the researchers conducted many experiments on subjects that included people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and a control group of healthy people. Some research has found that pain increases after exclusion, whereas others have found that pain decreases. However, there seems to be a link between the severity of social exclusion to the amount of sensitivity one has to pain. For example, if a person experiences severe forms of social exclusion, they are more likely to feel physical pain less. Similarly, in regards to rejection sensitivity, people that have higher levels of rejection sensitivity tend to show reduced sensitivity to physical pain. People with BPD expect rejection even more than people with anxiety disorders so it is no surprise that they have the least pain sensitivity. In the next article, P ower motivates interpersonal connection following social exclusio...

A discipline that I am interested in is Psychology. A professor here at Abington who studies in this field is Michael J. Bernstein . Bernstein published an article a couple years ago on the relation of past perspectives on present relationships. He has a also published several articles on social interaction and exclusion. This is very interesting to me because I have always been interested in the effect of people’s experiences on their daily lives. It is exciting to know that people actually study things that may seem miniscule or insignificant but are actually important in humans lives. Some questions I have are: What effect does rejection have on relationships? What type(s) of rejection exists? Can these all affect how we pursue relationships? What kind of experiences influence relationships? How are social interaction and exclusion related? Is this the same as rejection? The keywords I used are: relationships, social interaction, exclusion, rejection and past experiences....

Three fun and more common genres are online dating, funny t-shirts, and the alphabet. More specifically though, I wanted to propose Tinder, boardwalk t-shirts, and English alphabet charts.
