Experiment 1. (A) Area of medial frontal gyrus extending into anterior cingulate gyrus (0, 45, 32) identified as showing a condition × time interaction (P < 0.00001) with greater activation in self-reflection than distraction conditions. (B) Area of precuneus/posterior cingulate gyrus (−8, −66, 28) identified as showing a condition × time interaction (P < 0.00001) with greater activation in self-reflection than distraction conditions. (C) Area of anterior cingulate gyrus and medial frontal gyrus (1, 45, 4) identified as showing a focus × condition × time interaction (P < 0.01); subsequent comparisons showed self-reflection > distraction within promotion (P < 0.004) and self-reflection = distraction within prevention. (D) Area of posterior cingulate gyrus (−1, −34, 20) identified as showing a focus × condition × time interaction (P < 0.01); subsequent comparisons showed self-reflection > distraction within prevention (P < 0.001) and self-reflection = distraction within promotion.
