Abstract

Perceived ostracism (e.g., feeling ignored or excluded) is a painful and distressing experience. However, little empirical research has investigated the types (profiles) of people more likely to perceive ostracism. The present study (N = 395) used latent class analysis to (a) identify potential classes based on the big five personality traits (i.e., openness, agreeableness, negative emotionality, extroversion, and conscientiousness) and (b) examine whether such classes could reliably differentiate levels of self-reported perceived ostracism. We extracted three classes: (a) Moderate Traits (MT), (b) the Quiet Over-Reacting Procrastinators (QORP), and (c) the Active and Adaptable Thinkers (AAT). Those in the QORP class reported the highest levels of perceived ostracism, whereas those in the AAT class reported the lowest levels of perceived ostracism compared to the MT class. This study provides new insight into the profiles of individuals who may be more likely to perceive ostracism. However, further research is needed to explore the association between personality and ostracism (e.g., as ostracism may lead to changes in personality), so that potential risk markers to trigger early psychological interventions of such ostracised individuals can be identified.
