Social comparison is a common behavior that largely determines people’s experience of decision outcome. Previous research has showed that interpersonal relationship plays a pivotal role in social comparison. In the current study, we investigated whether the manipulation of context-based relationship would affect participants’ comparison of self-outcome and other-outcome. Participants first finished a trust game with likeable (dislikeable) partner and then they were involved in a gambling task and observed the outcomes for themselves and for partners. According to self-reports, participants were more satisfied with likeable partner’s gains than losses only when they received gains, but they were always more satisfied with dislikeable player’s losses compared to gains. Event-related potentials including the feedback-related negativity (FRN), P3 and late positive component (LPC) were sensitive to context-based relationship. Specifically, the prediction error signal (indexed by the FRN) was largest when participants received losses but dislikeable player received gains. Meanwhile, the P3 indicates that participants had stronger motivation to outperform dislikeable player. Finally, the LPC was larger when participants received the same outcomes with dislikeable players. In general, our results support the key point of the self-evaluation maintenance model that personal closeness modulates subjective sensitivity when drawing a comparison of one’s outcomes with other’s outcomes.

“…A growing number of ERP studies have begun to explore how the brain responds to outcomes related to others and found that ERP responses to others' feedback were similar to those elicited by the outcome of participants themselves (Fukushima & Hiraki, 2006Hu, Xu, & Mai, 2017;Liu, Hu, Shi, & Mai, 2018;Yu & Zhou, 2006;Zhu et al, 2018). Yu and Zhou (2006) reported that the FRN was elicited when individuals observed others' performance.…”

Your losses are mine: The influence of empathic concern on evaluative processing of others’ outcomes

Neural responses to others' decision-making outcomes can be modulated by many social factors. Using the event-related potential (ERP) technique, we explored the neural mechanisms of empathic concern modulating evaluative processing of others' outcomes. Participants were asked to perform a gambling task for three beneficiaries: themselves and two strangers. One stranger was an economically underprivileged student requiring help (high-empathy condition); the other stranger was a student with no upsetting information to induce empathic concern (low-empathy condition). ERP results showed that the valence effect of the feedback-related negativity (FRN) was larger when participants exhibited high empathic concern than when they did not. The FRN responses to strangers' outcomes in the high-empathy condition were as strong as those to their own outcomes. The P300 showed no differences between the low-and high-empathy conditions. These findings indicate that empathic concern could modulate the early stage of outcome processing, implying empathic emotional/altruistic motivational impacts of others' outcomes.

“…First, the difference wave approach can remove common underlying components that are insensitive to the win/loss manipulation (Bress, Smith, Foti, Klein, & Hajcak, 2012) and at the same time minimize potential overlaps between the FRN and other ERP components, particularly the P3 (Hajcak, Moser, Holroyd, & Simons, 2007;Holroyd & Krigolson, 2007). Second, we have successfully used the difference approach in relevant studies (e.g., Gu et al, 2016;Zhu, Gu, Wu, & Luo, 2015;Zhu et al, 2018). Thus, we created Bnegative-positive^and Bambiguous-positive^difference waves by subtracting the ERPs on positive outcome trials from the ERPs on negative and ambiguous outcome trials, respectively.…”

We proposed that self-affirmation can endow people with more cognitive resource to cope with uncertainty. We tested this possibility with an event-related potential (ERP) study by examining how self-affirmation influences ambiguous feedback processing in a simple gambling task, which was used to investigate risk decision-making. We assigned 48 participants randomly to the affirmation and non-affirmation (i.e., control) groups. All participants accepted the manipulation first and then completed the gambling task with an electroencephalogram (EEG) recording, in which participants might receive a positive (winning), negative (losing), or ambiguous (unknown valence) outcome after they made a choice. We considered both the feedback-related negativity (FRN) and P3 components elicited by the outcome feedback, which reflected the amount of cognitive resources being invested in the early and late stages of the outcome feedback processing, respectively. ERP results showed that ambiguous feedback elicited a larger FRN among affirmed participants than unaffirmed participants but exerted no influence on the P3. This finding suggests that self-affirmation may help coping with uncertainty by enhancing the early processing of uncertainty.
