Abstract: The study explored the relationship between Small Self-Acquisition Face Orientation, Big Self-Acquisitive Face Orientation and Social Exclusion through a sample of 599 college students. Correlation analysis found that small self-acquisition face orientation was positively related with direct social exclusion, indirect social exclusion and the entire score of social exclusion significantly. While big self acquisition face orientation related significantly negatively with direct social exclusion, indirect social exclusion and the entire score of social exclusion. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that small self-acquisition face orientation could positively predict direct social exclusion, indirect social exclusion and the entire social exclusion, while big self-acquisition face orientation could negatively predict direct social exclusion, indirect social exclusion and the entire social exclusion. ANOVAs analysis found that senior year college students got significantly higher scores on small self-acquisition face orientation and lower scores on big self-acquisition face orientation than junior year students. And senior year college students had higher scores at direct social exclusion, indirect social exclusion and the entire social exclusion. The findings suggest that interventions addressing big self-acquisition face orientation may be benefit for students who are experiencing social exclusion. Directions for future research are suggested.
