The Role of Introversion and Extraversion in Coping with Ostracism: Evidence from a Jenga Task

This study examines the effects of ostracism (non-ostracized, peer ostracized, powerful figure ostracized) and personality type (introversion/extraversion) on distress, need satisfaction, and disengagement in a Jenga task. We hypothesize an interaction where introverts experience greater distress and disengagement, particularly under powerful figure ostracism, compared to extraverts, who exhibit greater resilience.
