Table 3.

Correlations between pleasure from self and vicarious (other) gaining, neural activity in NAcc in the vicarious gain conditions (relative to the both no-gain baseline) and Social Dilemma cooperation (separated by target). All correlations remain significant when controlling for age. *p < .05, not Bonferroni corrected. Significant correlations in bold.
