Revenge is sweet: Investigation of the effects ofApproach‐Motivatedanger on theRewPin the motivated anger delay (MAD) paradigm

Abstract: Past research has found that neural activity associated with feedback processing is enhanced by positive approach‐motivated states. However, no past work has examined how reward processing changes in the context of revenge. Using a novel aggression paradigm, we sought to explore the influence of approach‐motivated anger on neural responses to feedback indicating the opportunity to seek revenge against an offending opponent by examining the reward positivity (RewP), an event‐related potential indexing performan… Show more

“…Statistical comparisons were based on a 180-ms window (300-480 ms). The larger P3 window is consistent with prior work that uses larger time windows for analyzing P3 amplitudes (Gajewski et al, 2008;Hilgard et al, 2014;Threadgill & Gable, 2020). Analysis of the P3 amplitudes were using a 2 x 2 repeated measures mixed ANOVA with Ownership (Self vs. Cozmo) as a within factor and Familiarity (High vs. Low) as a between factor.…”

“…Lastly, it is important to acknowledge that, as the interaction with Cozmo involved a competitive task, participants in the high-familiarity condition may have been predisposed to experience greater reward processing as a result of being motivated by the competitive nature of the engagement task. In line with this idea is work showing that the RewP is enhanced when tasks are performed in a social context (Wilhelm et al, 2019), even when the social context involves insults that promote anger in the participant (Threadgill & Gable, 2020). Threadgill and Gable (2020) posit this could be due to the pleasurable feeling associated with revenge.…”

“…For example, anger is a negative affect associated with approach motivation ( Carver and Harmon-Jones, 2009 ; Harmon-Jones et al, 2011 ). Anger high in motivational intensity narrows an organism’s cognitive and attentional scope and can motivate goal acquisition ( Gable et al, 2015 ; Threadgill and Gable, 2020 ). Similarly, sadness is a negative affect that can be associated with approach motivation ( Higgins et al, 1997 ; Carver, 2004 ; Gable et al, 2016 ).…”

“…However, revenge is also motivated by anticipated feelings of satisfaction from balancing the scales (McCullough, Bellah, Kilpatrick, & Johnson, 2001). Respectively, winning the chance to take revenge against the offender activates neural signatures associated with reward processing (i.e., RewP;Threadgill & Gable, 2020). Increased activity of the brain regions associated with reward was found to be associated with greater desire to retaliate against a person who played unfairly in economic exchange (Singer et al, 2006).…”
