About Cancer in Women
Cancer is one of the frequently talked about and most feared disease that falls under the genre of lifestyle diseases that have evolved, rather rapidly, in the past two decades.

The U.S. researchers found that when an individual's need for 'control and a meaningful existence' is threatened, they tend to act in provocative and attention-seeking ways to reaffirm their sense of belonging in society.

However, the participants who felt rejected had no interest in branded clothing, but did show a rise in pro-social, charitable behaviour.

"Being ignored increased preferences for clothing with conspicuous brand logos, but it had no effect on pro-social behaviour," Professor Jaehoon Lee and Professor L Shrum, said.

"In contrast, being rejected increased pro-social behaviour, but had no effect for clothing with conspicuous brand logos.

'We propose that when relational needs, such as self-esteem and belonging, are primarily threatened, people attempt to fortify those needs by feeling, thinking, and behaving in a pro-social, affiliative manner, because pro-social acts such as helping others increase interpersonal attractiveness and help reconnect with society," they added.

The study has been published in the Journal of Consumer Research.
