Hyperthymic temperament predicts neural responsiveness for nonmonetary reward.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Hyperthymic temperament is a cheerful action orientation that is suggested to have a protective effect on depressive symptoms. We recently reported that hyperthymic temperament can positively predict activation of reward-related brain areas in anticipation of monetary rewards, which could serve as a biomarker of hyperthymic temperament. However, the relationship between hyperthymic temperament and neural responsiveness to nonmonetary rewards (i.e., feedback indicating success in a task) remains unclear.

Methods

Healthy participants performed a modified monetary incentive delay task inside a functional magnetic resonance imaging scanner. To examine the effect of nonmonetary positive feedback, the participants performed feedback and no-feedback trials. We explored brain re
