Early experiences of social exclusion may have far-reaching consequences on individuals’ psychological wellbeing and future personality development, according to new research reported by PsyPost. The study, which investigates the knock-on effects of childhood social rejection, reveals that not only does exclusion increase loneliness, but it is also linked to a rise in characteristics known collectively as the “Dark Triad”: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. These findings could have significant implications for educators, parents, and policymakers in Thailand, where social harmony and group integration are held in high cultural regard.
