Abstract

This study examines motivation to work indexed by a progressive ratio task (PRT) in relation to neural responses to monetary and social reward. Specifically, not quitting the PRT predicts higher sensitivity to monetary loss. Additionally, individuals who do not quit the PRT are more sensitive to social acceptance and rejection.
