| Abstract | The effects of media exclusion are discussed in communications and critical studies, but the topic has received limited attention from social psychologists. This experiment investigates the effects of viewing a university promotional video that excludes individuals of a subject’s race, integrating Social Exclusion Theory (exclusion from a social group causes deficits in self-esteem, belonging, and control) and Symbolic Annihilation (individuals not represented in media may suffer from low self-esteem and reduced feelings of belongingness). Racially excluded Caucasians reported greater belongingness to the university, while Asians and Latinos reported lower belongingness when excluded. Furthermore, replicating prior social exclusion research, racially excluded women experienced reported greater importance of the group to personal identity, while racially excluded men experienced a decrease. This research provides evidence that exclusion from media may induce similar processes to that of social exclusion and highlights the different reactions of racial groups to exclusion from a visual medium. |
