Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Adults between 18 and 25 years with no history of neurological disorders and no counter-indications to MRI will be included in this study. All participants will be right-handed native Dutch speakers with normal vision or contact lenses.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Potential participants will be prescreened for contraindications for fMRI, which include metal implants, heart arrhythmia, claustrophobia, and possible pregnancy (in females). They will additionally be prescreened for head trauma, history of neurological or psychiatric illness and/or use of psychotropic medications.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary objective is to examine the neural correlates of punishing and rewarding others. We will examine whether we will find increased activation in brain regions associated with internal conflict during punishing non-cooperation than during rewarding cooperation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
An additional objective is to examine the impact of punishing and rewarding only mildly (non-)cooperative behavior compared to the impact of punishing and rewaring more severe (non-)cooperative behavior. We will thus include different types of (non-)cooperative behavior and compare brain and behavioral responses to these different types of behavior.
