Description: The current study examines how social evaluation shapes views of the self and others differently across development. Despite equivalent experiences of social evaluation, adolescents internalized peer rejection, experiencing a feedback-induced drop in self-views, whereas adults externalized peer rejection, reporting a task-induced boost in self-views and deprecating the peers who rejected them. The results identify co-developing processes underlying why peer rejection may lead to more dramatic alterations in self-views during adolescence than other phases of the lifespan.
