Neural dynamics of pride and shame in social context: an approach with event-related brain electrical potentials.

摘要: The neural underpinnings of social emotions such as pride and shame are largely unknown. present study aims to add evidence by exploiting the advantage event-related brain electrical potentials (ERP) examine processes they unfold over time. For this purpose, a dot-estimation task was adapted explore these elicited in simulated context. Pride prompted an early negativity seemingly originated medial parietal regions (precuneus) possibly reflecting comparison successful trials. This followed late positivity frontal regions, probably verification singularly Shame, turn, apparently cuneus, related mental imagery situation. It mainly same for pride, then conceivably processes, occasion unsuccessful None fluctuations correlated with self-reported feelings either emotion, suggesting that instead relate cognitive computations necessary achieve them. results provide dynamic depiction mechanisms underlying emotions, probing necessity them using integrated approach different techniques.
