“…Moreover, the fact that no differences between the groups were found was not in line with our expectations, since earlier studies did find attenuated P3 and LPP amplitudes in affective picture viewing to be related to antisocial personality and delinquency [ 75 , 88 , 89 ]. Additionally, although studies have found associations between diminished alpha ERD and antisociality [ 69 , 70 ], other studies have found no results concerning alpha ERD (and mu suppression more specifically) and antisocial characteristics [ 75 , 88 ].…”

“…With respect to aggression, previous studies using resting-state EEG found decreased alpha power in centro-parietal regions to be related to psychopathic personality in violent offenders [69]. A more recent study showed that alpha ERD at frontal sites was related to aggression and retaliation [70], providing support for the idea that aggression results from a decrease in self-control, including dysfunctional emotion regulation.…”

Neurobiological Responses towards Stimuli Depicting Aggressive Interactions in Delinquent Young Adults and Controls: No Relation to Reactive and Proactive Aggression

Neurobiological measures underlying aggressive behavior have gained attention due to their potential to inform risk assessment and treatment interventions. Aberrations in responsivity of the autonomic nervous system and electrophysiological responses to arousal-inducing stimuli have been related to emotional dysregulation and aggressive behavior. However, studies have often been performed in community samples, using tasks that induce arousal but not specifically depict aggression. In this study, we examined differences in psychophysiological (i.e., heart rate, respiratory sinus arrhythmia, skin conductance level) and electrophysiological responses (i.e., P3, late positive potential, mu suppression) to aggressive versus neutral scenes in a sample of 118 delinquent young adults and 25 controls (all male, aged 18–27). With respect to group differences, we only found significant higher SCL reactivity during the task in the delinquent group compared to controls, but this was irrespective of condition (aggressive and neutral interactions). Within the delinquent group, we also examined associations between the neurobiological measures and reactive and proactive aggression. No significant associations were found. Therefore, although we found some indication of emotional dysregulation in these delinquent young adults, future studies should further elucidate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying emotional dysregulation in relation to different types of aggression.

“…Thus, we created two tasks measuring different aspects of cooperation and competition to study the role of similarity in dominance, Machivellianism, and hypercompetitiveness in social interactions of siblings. Social interactions are defined as a set of social actions that are dynamically changing, with people able to adjust their choices based on the previous decision of their playing partner 51 . The new tasks necessarily involved: (a) two subjects engaged in the situation, (b) real-time interactions, (c) dynamic changes over time and (d) higher ecological validity compared to standard paradigms.…”

Siblings strongly influence each other in their social development and are a major source of support and conflict. Yet, studies are mostly observational, and little is known about how adult sibling relationships influence social behavior. Previous tasks exploring dynamically adjusting social interactions have limitations in the level of interactivity and naturalism of the interaction. To address these limitations, we created a cooperative tetris puzzle-solving task and an interactive version of the chicken game task. We validated these two tasks to study cooperative and competitive behavior in real-time interactions (N = 56). Based on a dominance questionnaire (DoPL), sibling pairs were clustered into pairs that were both low in dominance (n = 7), both high in dominance (n = 8), or one low and one high in dominance (n = 13). Consistent with our hypothesis, there were significantly more mutual defections, less use of turn-taking strategies, and a non-significant trend for reduced success in solving tetris puzzles together among high dominance pairs compared to both other pair types. High dominant pairs also had higher Machiavellian and hypercompetitiveness traits and more apathetic sibling relationships. Both tasks constitute powerful and reliable tools to study personality and relationship influences on real and natural social interactions by demonstrating the different cooperative and competitive dynamics between siblings.

Siblings strongly influence each other in their social development and are a major source of support and conflict. Yet, studies are mostly observational, and little is known about how adult sibling relationships influence social behavior. Previous tasks exploring dynamically adjusting social interactions have limitations in the level of interactivity and naturalism of the interaction. To address these limitations, we created a Cooperative Tetris puzzle-solving Task (CoTT) and an interactive version of the Chicken Game task (ICG). We validated these two tasks to study cooperative and competitive behavior in real-time interactions (N = 56). Based on a dominance questionnaire (DoPL), sibling pairs were clustered into pairs that were both low in dominance (n = 7), both high in dominance (n = 8), or one low and one high in dominance (n = 13). Consistent with our hypothesis, there were significantly more mutual defections, less use of turn-taking strategies, and a trend for reduced success in solving the CoTT puzzles together among high dominance pairs compared to both other pair types. High dominant pairs had also higher Machiavellian and hypercompetitiveness traits and more apathetic sibling relationships. Both tasks constitute powerful and reliable tools to study personality and relationship influences on real and natural social interactions by demonstrating the different cooperative and competitive dynamics between siblings.
