Correlations between Neural Biases to In-group>Out-group and Social Self-Esteem, Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms
| Variable | Low Social Self-Esteem |
Internalizing Symptoms1 |
Externalizing Symptoms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amygdala | 42 | .34* | .40* |
| Ventral Striatum | .38 | .44 | .54*** |
| TPJ | .46*** | .49*** | .51*** |
| Fusiform | .42** | .41* | .56*** |
We ran separate analyses with anxiety and depression, each of which were nearly identically correlated with neural activation ***p<. 005, **p < .01, -*p< .05; corrections for multiple comparisons (i.e., correlations with 4 brain regions) required a statistical threshold of p < .0125.
