AB - To help explain maladaptive reactions to rejection, Downey & Feldman proposed a specific cognitive-affective disposition called rejection sensitivity. At the core of this disposition is the anxious expectation of being rejected by people who are important to the self, an expectation developed through exposure to serve and prolonged rejection. Those who are high in rejection sensitivity show a heightened tendency to anxiously expect, readily perceive, and intensely react to rejection. John Bowlby's attachment theory helps to understand a cause of rejection sensitivity. John Bowlby devoted extensive research to the concept of attachment viewing that early experiences in childhood, specially strong emotional bonds to particular individual, have an important influence on development and behavior later in life.
Nevertheless the psychological research helps to understand the rejection sensitivity, this paper emphasizes the fact that It is the Bible that really reveals the true cause of it. To find the genesis of rejection, we go back to the beginning, to Genesis, and see that the roots of rejection harken back to the root of humanity, the first man Adam's rebellious sin against God. However, God, through the cross of the Jesus Christ, granted our salvation and acceptance. The Gospel has the remedy against the fear and anxiety of rejection and, in order that happen, the positional sanctification needs to be emphasized. Knowing who we are in Christ, our positional sanctification, is the biblical key to getting over from the high rejection sensitivity.
