Can the Neural Representation of Physical Pain Predict Empathy for Pain in Others? Soc. Cogn. Affect. Neurosci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-13 Li M., Racey Chris, Rae Charlotte L., Strawson Will, Critchley Hugo D., Ward Jamie
The question of whether physical pain and vicarious pain have some shared neural substrates is unresolved. Recent research has argued that physical and vicarious pain are represented by dissociable multivariate brain patterns by creating biomarkers for physical pain (Neurologic Pain Signature, NPS) and vicarious pain (Vicarious Pain Signature, VPS) respectively. In the current research, the NPS and

The pill you don’t have to take that is still effective: Neural correlates of imaginary placebo intake for regulating disgust Soc. Cogn. Affect. Neurosci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-07 Anne Schienle, Wolfgang Kogler, Arved Seibel, Albert Wabnegger
A commonly established protocol for the administration of open-label placebos (OLPs) – placebos honestly prescribed - emphasizes the necessity of ingesting the pill for the placebo effect to manifest. The current fMRI study used a novel approach to OLP administration: the imaginary intake of an OLP pill for regulating disgust. A total of 99 females were randomly allocated to one of three groups that

Working memory load impairs tacit coordination but not inter-brain EEG synchronization Soc. Cogn. Affect. Neurosci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-07 Lionel A Newman, Ming Cao, Susanne Täuber, Marieke van Vugt
Coordinating actions with others is thought to require Theory of Mind (ToM): the ability to take perspective by attributing underlying intentions and beliefs to observed behavior. However, researchers have yet to establish a causal role for specific cognitive processes in coordinated action. Since working memory load impairs ToM in single-participant paradigms, we tested whether load manipulation affects

Reduced GM–WM concentration inside the Default Mode Network in individuals with high emotional intelligence and low anxiety: a data fusion mCCA+jICA approach Soc. Cogn. Affect. Neurosci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-07 Alessandro Grecucci, Bianca Monachesi, Irene Messina
The concept of emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to recognize and regulate emotions to appropriately guide cognition and behaviour. Unfortunately, studies on the neural bases of EI are scant, and no study so far has exhaustively investigated grey matter (GM) and white matter (WM) contributions to it. To fill this gap, we analysed trait measure of EI and structural MRI data from 128

Zygomaticus activation through facial neuromuscular electric stimulation (fNMES) induces happiness perception in ambiguous facial expressions and affects neural correlates of face processing Soc. Cogn. Affect. Neurosci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2024-02-09 Themis Nikolas Efthimiou, Joshua Baker, Alasdair Clarke, Arthur Elsenaar, Marc Mehu, Sebastian Korb
The role of facial feedback in facial emotion recognition remains controversial, partly due to limitations of the existing methods to manipulate the activation of facial muscles, such as voluntary posing of facial expressions, or holding a pen in the mouth. These procedures are indeed limited in their control over which muscles are (de)activated when and to what degree. To overcome these limitations

The Speed of Race Soc. Cogn. Affect. Neurosci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2023-12-12 Peter de Lissa, Pauline Schaller, Roberto Caldara
When asked to categorize faces according to ‘race’, people typically categorize other-race faces faster than faces belonging to their own race. This Other Race Categorization Advantage is thought to reflect enhanced sensitivity to early visual signals characteristic of other-race faces, and can manifest within 200 ms of face presentation. However, recent research has highlighted the importance of signal

Social processing modulates the initial allocation of attention towards angry faces: Evidence from the N2pc component Soc. Cogn. Affect. Neurosci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2023-11-14 Benedikt Emanuel Wirth, Dirk Wentura
Previous research has shown that attentional bias towards angry faces is moderated by the activation of a social processing mode. More specifically, reliable cueing effects for angry face cues in the dot-probe task only occurred when participants performed a task that required social processing of the target stimuli. However, cueing effects are a rather distal measure of covert shifts in spatial attention

Cultural variation in neural responses to social but not monetary reward outcomes Soc. Cogn. Affect. Neurosci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2023-11-12 Elizabeth Blevins, Michael Ko, BoKyung Park, Yang Qu, Brian Knutson, Jeanne L Tsai
European Americans view high intensity, open-mouthed “excited” smiles more positively than Chinese because they value excitement and other high arousal positive states more (Tsai et al. 2018). This difference is supported by reward-related neural activity, with European Americans showing greater Nucleus Accumbens (NAcc) activity to excited (vs. calm) smiles than Chinese (Park et al., 2018). But do

Age-related decline in episodic memory performance is a well-replicated finding across numerous studies. Recent studies focusing on aging and individual differences found that the Big Five personality trait Openness to Experience is associated with better episodic memory performance in older adults, but the associated neural mechanisms are largely unclear. Here we investigated the relationship between

Genetic architecture of well-being: Cumulative effect of serotonergic polymorphisms Soc. Cogn. Affect. Neurosci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2023-08-10 Yuhe Fan, Yuting Yang, Lele Shi, Wenping Zhao, Feng Kong, Pingyuan Gong
Serotonin influences mental health and well-being. To understand the influences of genetic variations in serotonin pathway on well-being, we examined the effects of seven serotonergic polymorphisms on subjective well-being (i.e. affective balance, global life satisfaction) and psychological well-being (i.e. optimal psychological functions in the face of existential challenges) in a larger sample. Results

Midfrontal theta as an index of conflict strength in approach-approach vs avoidance-avoidance conflicts. Soc. Cogn. Affect. Neurosci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2023-08-09 Ariel Levy,Maya Enisman,Anat Perry,Tali Kleiman
The seminal theory of motivational conflicts distinguishes between approach-approach (AP-AP) conflicts, in which a decision is made between desirable alternatives, and avoidance-avoidance (AV-AV) conflicts, in which a decision is made between undesirable alternatives. The behavioral differences between AP-AP and AV-AV conflicts are well documented: abundant research showed that AV-AV conflicts are

Differential Processing of Risk and Reward in Delinquent and Non-Delinquent Youth Soc. Cogn. Affect. Neurosci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2023-08-09 Natasha Duell, Michael T Perino, Ethan M McCormick, Eva H Telzer
The present study examined behavioral and neural differences in risky decision-making between delinquent (n = 23) and non-delinquent (n = 27) youth ages 13-17 years (M = 16, SD = .97) in relation to reward processing. During fMRI, participants completed an experimental risk task wherein they received feedback about the riskiness of their behavior in the form of facial expressions that morphed from

The longitudinal role of family conflict and neural reward sensitivity in youth’s internalizing symptoms Soc. Cogn. Affect. Neurosci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2023-08-02 Beiming Yang, Zachary Anderson, Zexi Zhou, Sihong Liu, Claudia M Haase, Yang Qu
Adolescence is often associated with an increase in psychopathology. Although previous studies have examined how family environments and neural reward sensitivity separately play a role in youth’s emotional development, it remains unknown how they interact with each other in predicting youth’s internalizing symptoms. Therefore, the current research took a biopsychosocial approach to examine this question

Using connectome-based models of working memory to predict emotion regulation in older adults Soc. Cogn. Affect. Neurosci. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2023-07-08 Megan E Fisher, James Teng, Oyetunde Gbadeyan, Ruchika S Prakash
Older adulthood is characterized by enhanced emotional well-being potentially resulting from greater reliance on adaptive emotion regulation strategies. However, not all older adults demonstrate an increase in emotional well-being and instead rely on maladaptive emotion regulation strategies. An important moderator of age-related shifts in strategy preferences is working memory and its underlying neural
