“…The results of the present study conceptually replicate and extend previous findings by Brinkmann et al (2014) in several important ways. First, in the previous study, conclusions relied on SBP reactivity as a measure of beta-adrenergic sympathetic impact on the heart.…”

“…Based on the theoretical framework of motivational intensity theory (Brehm and Self, 1989) and an established cardiovascular measure of effort mobilization (Kelsey, 2012;Wright, 1996), the present study investigates responsiveness of dysphoric and nondysphoric individuals during the anticipatory, motivational phase of social reward processing. It conceptually replicates and extends the findings by Brinkmann et al (2014) and complements the relatively sparse literature on neural responses during social reward consumption and behavioral response during social reward anticipation. Results of the present study reveal that subclinically depressed individuals mobilize less effort-in terms of cardiovascular response-to obtain a social reward in form of the possibility to get access to a social exchange internet site.…”

“…It is thus conceivable that participants were reluctant to admit their true subjective experience. Some of our past studies showed blunted self-reported motivation of depressed individuals (Franzen and Brinkmann, 2016b;Franzen et al, 2016), but not all studies revealed this pattern (Brinkmann and Franzen, 2013;Brinkmann et al, 2014). In the present study, the pattern of motivation ratings together with the clear cardiovascular reactivity pattern make it very likely that dysphoric participants perceived the social reward as less attractive, leading to reduced effort mobilization.…”

“…To date, one study has demonstrated blunted SBP reactivity in subclinically depressed individuals during the anticipation of a social reward (Brinkmann et al, 2014). The aim of the present study was to conduct a conceptual replication of the Brinkmann et al study to answer the remaining open questions.…”

“…One study revealed that remitted depressed individuals show impaired reward-learning when expecting social praise as reward feedback for correct responses (Pechtel et al, 2013). Another study demonstrated that dysphoric (i.e., subclinically depressed) participants mobilize less effort when expecting social approval in form of the possibility to enter one's name in a public "best list" (Brinkmann et al, 2014). Specifically, reduced effort mobilization was evidenced by a weaker response of systolic blood pressure (SBP) during task performance.…”

The present study extends past research about reduced reward responsiveness in depression by assessing effort-related cardiovascular responses during anticipation of a social reward. Dysphoric (i.e., subclinically depressed) and nondysphoric participants worked on a cognitive task. Half the participants in each group expected the possibility to subscribe to a social exchange internet site. Effort mobilization during task performance was assessed by participants' cardiovascular reactivity. Confirming the predictions, nondysphoric participants in the social-reward condition had higher reactivity of pre-ejection period, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate, compared to the other three cells. In contrast, dysphoric participants' cardiovascular reactivity was generally low. These findings indicate that social-reward function is indeed impaired in subclinical depression. Implications for social punishment are discussed.

Pre-ejection period (PEP) reactivity to reward has been posited as a specific index of behavioral approach and incentive motivation, suggesting it might be uniquely associated with the affective and motivational deficits of anhedonia. This study evaluated PEP reactivity to a reward task as a predictor of depressive symptoms among adolescents, examining global depressive symptoms as well as specific anhedonic and nonanhedonic symptoms clusters. Participants included 76 adolescents, ages 11–15 years (52% female). This study found marginal support for an association between PEP reactivity to reward and concurrent anhedonia symptoms, but no association with nonanhedonic or the global scale. Findings are discussed in terms of potential associations between peripheral psychophysiological measures and dopaminergic functioning and also the utility of this measure for future research on anhedonia.

The impact of social hierarchies on neural response to feedback evaluations after advice giving

Advisors generally evaluate advisee‐relevant feedback after advice giving. The response to these feedback—(1) whether the advice is accepted and (2) whether the advice is optimal—usually involves prestige. Prior literature has found that prestige is the basis by which individuals attain a superior status in the social hierarchy. However, whether advisors are motivated to attain a superior status when engaging in advice giving remains uncharacterized. Using event‐related potentials, this study investigates how advisors evaluate feedback after giving advice to superior (vs. inferior) status advisees. A social hierarchy was first established based on two advisees (one was ranked as superior status and another as inferior status) as well as participants' performance in a dot‐estimation task in which all participants were ranked as medium status. Participants then engaged in a game in which they were assigned roles as advisors to a superior or inferior status advisee. Afterward, the participants received feedback in two phases. In Phase 1, participants were told whether the advisees accepted the advice provided. In Phase 2, the participants were informed whether the advice they provided was correct. In these two phases, when the advisee was of superior status, participants exhibited stronger feedback‐related negativity and P300 difference in response to (1) whether their advice was accepted, and (2) whether their advice was correct. Moreover, the P300 was notably larger when the participants' correct advice led to a gain for a superior‐status advisee. In the context of advice giving, advisors are particularly motivated to attain a superior status when the feedback involving social hierarchies, which is reflected in higher sensitivity to feedback associated with superior status advisees at earlier and later stages during feedback evaluations in brains.
