Why didn't you tag me?!: Social exclusion from Instagram posts hurts, especially those with a high need to belong

作者：

Highlights：

• We investigate not being tagged as a novel form of ostracism on social media platforms (e.g., Instagram).

• Five studies (total N = 1149) show that not being tagged threatens fundamental needs.

• The aversive effects of not being tagged are stronger for individuals with a higher (vs. lower) need to belong.

• Findings from observational and vignette studies are solidified by experimental manipulations of (not) being tagged.
