Research has demonstrated the powerful impact of social rejection on behavior; however, there are inconsistencies across studies as to what that behavior is. Findings are split into two pathways, with one line of research suggesting that experiencing rejection results in increased aggressive behavior, or the `numbness hypothesis,' while another line suggests that rejection causes increased prosocial and affiliative behavior, or the `social reconnection hypothesis.' As a single, clear path from rejection to subsequent behavior has not been found, the current study proposed that individual characteristics may determine this pathway, specifically, empathy, attachment style, rejection sensitivity, and effortful control. Furthermore, this study explored different facets of the behavioral response to rejection by implementing a measure of sensitivity to mental states, a measure of behavior toward the rejecter, and a measure of behavior toward an innocent other. Participants (N = 174) were recruited from a multicultural college student population. Results indicated that empathy predicted increased prosocial behavior in the form of mental state identification accuracy and ingratiating behavior toward one's rejecters following rejection. Attachment style, rejection sensitivity, and effortful control did not impact behavior following rejection. Overall, these findings suggest that individuals who follow the social reconnection pathway after rejection may be those who possess a dispositional leaning toward social connection. The lack of findings in this study for the numbness pathway and its associated aggression suggests the possible influence of culture and interpersonal style on willingness to aggress. These findings highlight the need for further empirical investigations into the effects of interpersonal characteristics on behavior following social rejection.
