Previous studies on the effects of social rejection on individuals' social behaviors have produced mixed results.Researchers studied mating behaviors more from a static point of view.However,mate is in essence a dynamic process and it has not been valued over the last several decades.The sociometer theory opened up a new perspective for studying mate and it underlied the dynamic mate processing.This study investigated the short-run effect of instantaneous heterosexual rejection on mating behaviors and examined the mediating role of self-perceived mate value in the relationship between heterosexual rejection and mate choice based on the sociometer theory.
