dc.description.abstractThe current study investigated the level of rejection sensitivity and social competence among rejected and accepted girls with an age range of 9 to 13 years. The study comprised two phases. In the first phase, rejected and accepted children were identified using peer nomination procedure (sociometric approach). This approach implies that rejected children were those who received larger number of “the most disliked child” peer nominations while accepted children were those who received larger number of “the most liked child” peer nominations. In the second phase, Children Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire and Social Competence Scale for Children were administered in the group of 15-20 girls. Results revealed that there was a link between peer rejection, two domains of rejection sensitivity (anxious expectations of rejection and angry reaction to ambiguously intentioned rejection), and social competence. There was significant difference on one of the rejection sensitivity domain i.e., angry reaction to ambiguously intentioned rejection between accepted and rejected girls but differences on rest of the study variable remained non-significant. Furthermore, two domains of rejection sensitivity significantly predicted social competence while peer rejection did not. Findings have been discussed in indigenous cultural contexten_US
