内容简介：neural responses to others’ decision-making outcomes can be modulated by many social factors. using the event-related potential (erp) technique, we explored the neural mechanisms of empathic concern modulating evaluative processing of others’ outcomes. participants were asked to perform a gambling task for three beneficiaries: themselves and two strangers. one stranger was an economically underprivileged student requiring help (high-empathy condition); the other stranger was a student with no upsetting information to induce empathic concern (low-empathy condition). erp results showed that the valence effect of the feedback-related negativity (frn) was larger when participants exhibited high empathic concern than when they did not. the frn responses to strangers’ outcomes in the high-empathy condition were as strong as those to their own outcomes. the p300 showed no differences between the low- and high-empathy conditions. these findings indicate that empathic concern could modulate the early stage of outcome processing, implying empathic emotional/altruistic motivational impacts of others’ outcomes.
