Abstract
This experiment showed that ostracized individuals with a chance to restore thwarted control show lower levels of superstitious tendencies than their ostracized counterparts who did not have such an opportunity. This finding highlights the effectiveness of control restoration exercises in ameliorating various negative outcomes following ostracism.
