The Protective Effect of Friendship on Peer Rejection in Overweight and Normal Weight Youth
September 28, 2011 updated by: Sarah-Jeanne Salvy, University at Buffalo
This study examines youth's motivation for food or social rewards after a brief episode of simulated ostracism.
The investigators hypothesize that youth who think about a friend after being ostracized will mediate their decision to resort to food, which is typically evidenced in socially isolated overweight youth.
