Social exclusion increases the executive function of attention networks

Abstract Previous studies in humans have shown that brain regions activating social exclusion overlap with those related to attention. However, in the context of social exclusion, how does behavioral monitoring affect individual behavior? In this study, we used the Cyberball game to induce the socia...

In this study, we used the Cyberball game to induce the social exclusion effect in a group of participants.
