“…Instead, this study highlights the importance of methodology in RewP studies on depression. For example, the RewP’s association with depression may be more robust in those with a clinical diagnosis of MDD (Clayson et al., 2020) and may be smaller when using certain task designs (Chang et al., 2020; Moran et al., 2017). Despite attempts to reduce extraneous cognitive or emotional processes—by training participants to easily identify the meaning of the feedback colors and using common and emotionally neutral words—the stimuli were more complex than in typical doors tasks.…”

Win, lose, or draw: Examining salience, reward memory, and depression with the reward positivity

The reward positivity (RewP) is a putative biomarker of depression. Careful control of stimulus properties and manipulation of both stimulus valence and salience could facilitate interpretation of the RewP. RewP interpretation could further be improved by investigating functional outcomes of a blunted RewP in depression, such as reduced memory for rewarding outcomes. This study sought to advance RewP interpretation first by advancing task design through use of neutral (i.e., draw) control trials and counterbalanced feedback stimuli. Second, we examined the RewP's association with memory and the impact of depression.Undergraduates completed self-report measures of depression and anhedonia prior to a modified doors task in which words were displayed in colored fonts that indicated win, loss, or draw feedback. Memory of the feedback associated with each word (i.e., source memory) was tested. Results showed that RewP response to wins was more positive than to losses, which was more positive than to draws. The RewP was not associated with depression or anhedonia. The low depression group showed a source memory advantage for win words, but the high depression group did not. Source memory showed small relations to the RewP, but these did not survive Bonferroni correction. Results suggest the RewP is sensitive to salience and highlight challenges in detecting an association between the RewP and depression in modified doors tasks. Findings indicate that depression is related to dysfunctional source memory for reward but not loss and that future research should probe the possible associations between the RewP and memory in depression.

“…To reiterate, consumers should feel higher levels of perceived control when they are involved in participative pricing and lower levels of control when they are involved with posted prices. Choice is an antecedent of perceived control (Chang et al, 2020; Pacheco et al, 2013; Skinner, 1996), which affects satisfaction (Bolkan et al, 2010; Guo et al, 2016; Namasivayam & Guchait, 2013; Pacheco et al, 2013). Thus, we hypothesize the following direct and indirect effects of pricing mechanism on pricing satisfaction:Hypothesis Pricing mechanisms influence consumers' satisfaction with the pricing mechanism such that consumers report higher pricing satisfaction in ( a ) PWYW over NYOP , ( b ) PWYW over posted prices , ( c ) NYOP over posted prices . Hypothesis Perceived control mediates the effects of pricing mechanisms on the satisfaction with the pricing mechanism , such that when consumers report higher perceived control , they report higher satisfaction with the pricing mechanism .…”

Consumer reactions to pay‐what‐you‐want and name‐your‐own‐price mechanisms

Pay-what-you-want (PWYW) and name-your-own-price (NYOP) participative pricing mechanisms are becoming more popular among firms. In response, researchers have examined separate outcomes for each mechanism. However, questions remain, especially regarding which mechanism is most beneficial for consumers and companies. Therefore, our main objective is to investigate the role of these participative pricing mechanisms on consumers' pricing satisfaction, pain of payment, and amount of money they intend to pay. We also explore perceived control as mediating the effect of pricing mechanism on pricing satisfaction and pain of payment. Results from two experimental studies indicate that consumers are more satisfied with the pricing mechanism and feel less pain of payment under PWYW offers rather than under NYOP offers, but they intend to pay less than they would have paid for NYOP. External reference prices (ERPs) act as a boundary condition. That is, in both PWYW and NYOP pricing conditions, when retailers use ERPs, consumers intend to pay more but they are less satisfied with pricing and feel more pain of payment. The article concludes with implications for retailers using participative pricing. | INTRODUCTIONRetailers know that when consumers perceive that prices are reasonable, they are more satisfied with their purchases and form increased

“…Based on previous literature, the RewP (250-350 ms) over a mid-frontocentral area (FCz, FC1, FC2, Fz, Cz), fb-P3 (330-430 ms) over a mid-centroparietal area (CP1, CP2, Pz, Cz) were chosen for statistical analysis, which corresponded to the typical latency range and the distribution of the RewP (Chang et al, 2020;Klawohn et al, 2020) and fb-P3 (Wang et al, 2020) components. The mean amplitude of the RewP was calculated by the arithmetic average at electrodes sites in the mid-frontocentral area within a time window of 250-350 ms post feedback onset.…”

Neural Responses to Reward and Punishment Stimuli in Depressed Status Individuals and Their Effects on Cognitive Activities

Individuals in depressed status respond abnormally to reward stimuli, but the neural processes involved remain unclear. Whether this neural response affects subsequent cognitive processing activities remains to be explored. In the current study, participants, screened as depressed status individuals and healthy individuals by Beck Depression Inventory and Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, performed both a door task and a cognitive task. Specifically, in each trial, they selected one from two identical doors based on the expectations of rewards and punishments and received the rewarded or punished feedback, and then they performed a cognitive task in which they judged the correctness of a math equation. The neural responses of their choice in the door task were recorded. The results showed that when the two groups received punished feedback, their accuracy was significantly higher than they received rewarded feedback. Compared with the healthy group, the depressed status group spent more time completing cognitive tasks. Analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) data showed that the amplitude of RewP induced by rewarded feedback was larger than that induced by punished feedback, and the amplitude of RewP and fb-P3 induced by the depressed status group was smaller than that of the healthy group. The results of an order analysis showed that the main effects of group variable in fb-P3 and RewP appeared in the second half of the data, and the main effect of feedback type in RewP appeared in the first half of the data. The results showed that the neural response of individuals in depressed status to reward and punishment stimuli was weakened compared with healthy individuals and affected the subsequent cognitive processing to some extent. The effect of feedback appeared in the early stage and gradually decreased. The neural response of individuals in depressed status had a cumulative effect, and the differences appeared in the later stage. The results of this study support the emotional situation insensitive hypothesis, that is, individuals in depressed status are less sensitive to reward and punishment than healthy individuals.
