Abstract: Higher social contribution scores correlate with SGST accuracy (p = 0.043) but slower response times (p = 0.041). No link was found with Number Series accuracy. These findings suggest that individuals with higher social contributions may excel in tasks requiring cognitive control but take longer, prioritizing thoughtful decision-making over speed.
