Differential effects of social feedback valence and self-relevance on brain responses and behaviour.

ABSTRACT: Theoretical accounts propose that people update their feedback expectations asymmetrically, with stronger updating after positive than negative feedback and self-relevant than irrelevant feedback. Further, attributions to the senders influence neuronal responses towards social evaluative feedback. In this study, we examined how both attributed self-relevance and acquired sender valence through their feedback behaviour impact learning about and Event-Related Potential (ERP) responses towards the social evaluative feedback. We investigated these questions in an ERP study (N = 40), where participants received either constant positive or negative feedback from senders, either self-relevant or directed to an unknown person. Participants first indicated their feedback expectations and were then
