Group differences for negative associations between activation and approach behaviour. Scatterplots depict the linear relationships between approach behaviour during conflict decision-making trials (i.e., CONF2, CONF4 and CONF6) and percent signal change in the dACC or striatum; the line of best fit for each group is plotted with ± 1 standard error. Approach behaviour during conflict decision-making trials was inversely associated with neural activation in the dACC and striatum during affective outcomes. The magnitude of the association was significantly stronger for healthy participants than for participants with anxiety or depression in the dACC (p = 0.018) and the striatum (p = 0.049). CONF2 = conflict trial with a 2-cent reward; CONF4 = conflict trial with a 4-cent reward; CONF6 = conflict trial with a 6-cent reward; dACC = dorsal anterior cingulate cortex.
