Social network structure modulates neural activities underlying group norm processing: evidence from event-related potentials.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Social ties play a crucial role in determining the health and wellbeing of individuals. However, it remains unclear whether the capacity to process social information distinguishes well-connected individuals from their less-connected peers. This study explored how an individual's social network structure influences the dynamic processing of group norms, utilizing event-related potentials (ERPs).

Methods

The study involved 43 university students from the same class who participated in a social network study measuring metrics such as real-life social network size, in-degree, out-degree, and betweenness centrality. Subsequently, 27 students participated in an EEG study assessing their willingness to engage in various exercises after being exposed to peer feedback o
