- Title
The Relationships between Daily Acceptance and Rejection Experiences and Self-esteem and Aggression.

- Abstract
This study examined the relationships between daily acceptance and rejection experiences and self-esteem and aggression. The participants were 251 undergraduate students. The results showed that rejection experiences predicted lower levels of self-esteem and higher levels of anger and hostility, and acceptance experiences predicted lower levels of physical aggression and hostility. These results were consistent with the findings of an experimental study of acceptance and rejection. The application of experimental findings of acceptance and rejection to daily events is discussed.
