Abstract

This project aims to investigate how specific core components of empathy (affect sharing, mentalizing, self-other distinction, and emotion recognition) differentially influence social decision-making. To this end, a novel social decision-making paradigm will be linked to state-of-the-art social neuroscience paradigms via computational modelling of behavioral data (N=50 healthy participants).
