The purpose of this study was to examine the hostile cognitive bias in the task of interpreting neutral facial expressions after social exclusion and to find whether gratitude moderates the relationship between social exclusion and cognitive interpretation bias. Eighty-nine emerging adults participated in the experiment. The data analysis used a 2(social exclusion/acceptance) X 2(gratitude writing/control) ANOVA. The Cyberball game and gratitude writing task were used to manipulate social exclusion and gratitude respectively. For the interpretation task, the participants were asked to look at the neutral facial expressions and evaluate the degree of rejection as well as friendliness of each facial expression. Results indicated that there was a significant interaction effect between social exclusion and gratitude in interpreting neutral facial expressions as rejecting. However, in interpreting neutral facial expressions as friendly, only the main effect of gratitude was significant. Based on the results, therapeutic intervention strategies for negative outcomes of social exclusion were discussed.
