Associations between rejection sensitivity and mental health outcomes: A meta-analytic review
Open accessAbstract
Rejection sensitivity is a personality disposition characterized by oversensitivity to social rejection. Using a three-level meta-analytic model, 75 studies were reviewed that examined associations between rejection sensitivity and five mental health outcomes: depression, anxiety, loneliness, borderline personality disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder. The results showed significant and moderate associations between rejection sensitivity and depression (pooled r=0.332; p<0.001), anxiety (pooled r=0.407; p<0.001), loneliness (pooled r=0.386; p<0.001), borderline personality disorder (pooled r=0.413; p<0.001), and body dysmorphic disorder (pooled r=0.428; p<0.001). The associations between rejection sensitivity and depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder varied by type of sample, but the associations were similar for clinical and non-clinical (i.e., community) samples. The association between rejection sensitivity and anxiety was negatively moderated by percentage of females in samples. The association between rejection sensitivity and depression was negatively moderated by length of follow-up. The longitudinal associations between rejection sensitivity and depression, anxiety, and loneliness were stable over time. Implications of the findings for both risk assessment and prevention and intervention strategies in mental health practice are discussed.

In the paper
“Extensive research has shown that rejection sensitivity is associated with a range of mental health problems (e.g., Chango, McElhaney, Allen, Schad, & Marston, 2012;Chesin, Fertuck, Goodman, Lichenstein, & Stanley, 2015;Rowe, Gembeck, Rudolph, & Nesdale, 2015;Webb et al., 2015).”

The Discussion (page unavailable in our copy) reports that rejection sensitivity, combined with relational stressors, predicted increases in depressive symptoms among adolescents. The paper also discusses prior research on internalizing disorders, but its own findings concern depressive symptoms, not a range of mental health problems. (LLM, conf=0.84)

The Correlations section (p. 14) reports that rejection sensitivity was significantly associated with all other measured variables, including depressive symptoms, social anxiety symptoms, and loneliness. The discussion also describes previous research linking rejection sensitivity with cognitive, emotional, and behavioural difficulties. These passages support the broad association claimed, without implying causation. (LLM, conf=0.91)

Statistics recomputed
Every reported test result, recomputed from its test statistic and degrees of freedom. A result shows as not adding up only once an independent check has confirmed it.
- ConsistentF(2, 76) = 6.756reported p < .01 · recomputed p = .002
“F(2, 76) = 6.756, p < .01”
Self-check

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-11, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-11 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
