Based on studies exploring neural signatures associated with downward and upward comparisons, the current study utilized a coordinate-based meta-analysis to provide a refinement of understanding about the underlying neural architecture of social comparison.
1 kwi 2008 · This meta‐analysis explores the location and function of brain areas involved in social cognition, or the capacity to understand people's behavioral intentions, social beliefs, and personality traits.
12 lis 2014 · Neuroimaging studies provide evidence that the brain relies on social comparison when processing rewarding information. Convergent findings indicate that the VS reacts to relative rewards. This research shows that the VS is modulated by social comparison even when participants’ outcomes do not depend on the other player.
Studying the brain basis of social cognition and interaction in terms of two- or multi-person neuroscience is timely worldwide, and it promises to integrate information from brain physiology, cognitive and clinical neuroscience, social psychology, emotion research, and advanced brain imaging.
The literature converges to suggest that relative status divides initiate social comparison processes, that upward and downward comparisons initiate pain- and pleasure-related neural responses, and that these responses can predict people's kindly or aggressive intentions toward one another.
15 gru 2020 · Here, using pattern-learning analyses of structural, functional, and diffusion brain scans in ~40,000 UK Biobank participants, the authors provide population-scale evidence that the default ...
The study of competition from a social comparison perspective offers valuable insights into the neuroscience of social judgment and decision making under uncertainty. When engaging in social comparison, individuals seek and assess information about similarities or differences between others and them …
