Psychological Bulletin1995, Vol. 117, No. 3, 497-529 Copyright 1995 by the American Psychological Association, Need to belong : Desire for Interpersonal Attachments as aFundamental Human MotivationRoy F. BaumeisterCase Western Reserve UniversityMark R. LearyWake Forest UniversityA hypothesized need to form and maintain strong, stable Interpersonal relationships is evaluated inlight of the empirical literature. The need is for frequent, nonaversive interactions within an ongoingrelational bond. Consistent with the belongingness hypothesis, people form social attachmentsreadily under most conditions and resist the dissolution of existing bonds. Belongingness appears tohave multiple and strong effects on emotional patterns and on cognitive processes.
If the need to belong is a fundamental need, then be-longing to one group should satisfy it and hence obviate or re-duce th need to belong to another group. People may be driven to form social bonds until they have a certain number, whereaf-ter the drive to form attachments would presumably subside.
