abstract = {In everyday life causal attribution is important in order
to structure the complex world, provide explanations for
events and to understand why our environment interacts with
us in a particular way. This study used functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) in 30 healthy subjects to separate
the neural correlates of self vs. external responsibility
for social events and explore the neural basis of
self-serving attributions (internal attributions of positive
events and external attributions of negative events). We
presented short sentences describing positive and negative
social events and asked participants to imagine the event,
to decide the main cause and assign it to one of the
categories (internal vs. external). FMRI data were analyzed
using a 2 x 2 factorial design with the factors emotional
valence and attribution. Internal compared to external
attribution revealed activations along the right
temporoparietal junction (TPJ). The reverse contrast showed
a left lateralized network mainly involving the TPJ, the
precuneus and the superior/medial frontal gyrus. These
results confirmed the involvement of a
fronto-temporoparietal network in differentiating self and
external responsibility. Analysis of the self-serving bias
yielded activation in the dorsal anterior cingulate and in
the dorsal striatum, suggesting a rewarding value of these
attributions.},
