ABSTRACT
This study examines the impact of fear of rejection on resilience and sense of belongingness among young adults. The findings revealed a significant negative correlation between fear of rejection and both resilience and sense of belongingness. Fear of rejection emerged as a substantial predictor, significantly contributing to lower levels of resilience and sense of belongingness among 150 participants. These results highlight the detrimental effect of fear of rejection on individuals’ ability to bounce back from adversity and their sense of connection and inclusion. The study underscores the importance of addressing fear of rejection in interventions aimed at enhancing mental health and overall well-being among young adults. By targeting this psychological barrier, interventions can empower individuals to build greater resilience and foster stronger feelings of belongingness, ultimately promoting healthier outcomes and more supportive social environments.
