Abstract
Our study examined a new approach to social rejection by testing emotional and informational support, both effective anti-anxiety treatments. Emotional support provides empathy; informational support provides logical advice. We found that emotional support significantly (p <.001) reduces social rejection, while informational support does not (p < .094).
