Me and the Other

Interpersonal rejection as a special type of relationship in the ontological constant ‘Me and the Other’

The article is devoted to interpersonal rejection that is caused by breaking off the relations in the dyad ‘Me and the Other’. The scientifi c interest is focused purely on ostracism. It is associated with ignoring and excluding a group representative from the general communicative and role-based team network as a retaliatory measure or group punishment. The study proposes the triangle of interpersonal rejection subjects. This triangle includes the one who rejects, the one who is rejected, and the one who witnesses the ostracism episode.
