When a Negative Experience Sticks With You: Does the Revised Outcome Debriefing Counteract the Consequences of Experimental Ostracism in Psychological Research?

Positive Mood As expected, in the not debriefed yet conditions, participants reported less positive mood after ostracism ( M = 2.67, SD = 0.95) than after inclusion ( M = 3.17, SD = 0.85), t (44.83) = -1.90, p = .064, d = −0.55, although this effect was not quite significant in a two-tailed analysis.
