abstract = {Social comparison is central in human life and can be
especially challenging in depression and social anxiety. We
assessed event-related potentials and emotions using a
social comparison task in which participants received
feedback on both their own and a co-player's performance, in
participants with depression and/or social anxiety
(n = 63) and healthy controls (n = 72). Participants
reported more negative emotions for downward (being better
than the co-player [participant correct, co-player wrong])
and upward (being worse than the co-player [participant
wrong, co-player correct]) comparisons versus even outcomes,
with these effects being stronger in depression and social
anxiety. At the Medial Frontal Negativity, both controls and
depressed participants showed a more negative amplitude for
upward comparison versus both the participant and co-player
performing wrong. Socially anxious subjects showed the
opposite effect, possibly due to greater expectations about
being worse than others. The P300 decreased for downward and
upward comparisons compared to even outcomes, which may
relate to the higher levels of conflict of social
inequality. Depressed and socially anxious subjects showed a
blunted P300 increase over time in response to the task
outcomes, suggesting deficits in allocating resources for
the attention of incoming social information. The LPP showed
increased amplitude for downward and upward comparison
versus the even outcomes and no group effect. Emotional
findings suggest that social comparisons are more difficult
for depressed and socially anxious individuals.
Event-related potentials findings may shed light on the
neural substrates of these difficulties.},
