Abstract

Fear of negative evaluation (FNE) and fear of positive evaluation (FPE) have been implicated in psychological disorders. The current study examined whether FNE and FPE were associated with neural response to social feedback. FNE was associated with greater neural response to negative social feedback compared to a control condition.
