abstract = {Social comparison is ubiquitous across human societies with
dramatic influence on people's well-being and decision
making. Downward comparison (comparing to worse-off others)
and upward comparison (comparing to better-off others)
constitute two types of social comparisons that produce
different neuropsychological consequences. Based on studies
exploring neural signatures associated with downward and
upward comparisons, the current study utilized a
coordinate-based meta-analysis to provide a refinement of
understanding about the underlying neural architecture of
social comparison. We identified consistent involvement of
the ventral striatum and ventromedial prefrontal cortex in
downward comparison and consistent involvement of the
anterior insula and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex in
upward comparison. These findings fit well with the
"common-currency" hypothesis that neural representations of
social gain or loss resemble those for non-social reward or
loss processing. Accordingly, we discussed our findings in
the framework of general reinforcement learning (RL)
hypothesis, arguing how social gain/loss induced by social
comparisons could be encoded by the brain as a
domain-general signal (i.e., prediction errors) serving to
adjust people's decisions in social settings. Although the
RL account may serve as a heuristic framework for the future
research, other plausible accounts on the neuropsychological
mechanism of social comparison were also acknowledged},
