Threshold for reporting all contrasts was P < 0.001 and whole-brain cluster-corrected P < 0.05 for FWE, clusters of minimum 3 voxels (24 mm³). Only the strongest peak is reported for each cluster. The following contrasts did not result in significant clusters: Gender: F > / < M, FDDS > / < MDDS, FIDS > / < MIDS, FADS > / < MADS; Addressee: DDS < ADS, FDDS < FADS, FIDS < FADS, FDDS + FIDS < FADS, IDS > / < ADS, DDS > / < IDS, FDDS > / < FIDS, MDDS > / < MIDS, MDDS > / < MADS, MIDS > / < MADS, FDDS + FADS > / < FIDS, FIDS + FADS > / < FDDS, MDDS + MIDS > / < MADS, MDDS + MADS > / < MIDS, MIDS + MADS > / < MDDS; Gender×Addressee: (FDDS + FIDS > FADS) < (MDDS + MIDS > MADS), (FDDS > FADS) >/< (MDDS > MADS).
