Abstract

We conducted an fMRI experiment in which participants made choices resulting in rewards related to in-group benefit and out-group harm. We computationally modeled their behavior to measure their latent preferences for harm. We expect to observe neural differences between the computation of value for spiteful and benign rewards. Results forthcoming.
