Abstract
We will examine whether behavioral responses to anticipating monetary, social, and social-media rewards differ and how these patterns relate to anhedonia, social media use, reward sensitivity, and social support. Using Monetary and Social Incentive Delay tasks in 100 undergraduates, we will test reward-response differences and moderators to identify reward-processing vulnerabilities.
