INTERACTION
Paired t-test analysis yielded that in both groups (hate, neutral) stories with pain were associated with greater BOLD response than stories without pain in the left dACC (hate group: The analyses of ANOVAs conducted on 7 RoIs revealed no significant effects of Type of Comments or Protagonist’s Ethnicity. However, analyses revealed significant main effects of Story. Stories with pain were associated with greater BOLD response than stories without pain in the left insula (Results of mixed design analyses of variance for selected regions of interest.N = 30. Degrees of freedom are 1 and 28 for all effects. C = Comments (neutral vs. hateful), E = Ethnicity (Arab vs. Polish), S = Story (no pain vs. pain).*Type of Comments (Neutral vs. Hateful) × Story (No Pain vs. Pain) Interaction Observed in the Right TPJ. Black points indicate estimated means. Gray points indicate individual observations. Vertical lines indicate 95% confidence intervals.None of the remaining two-way or three-way interactions were significant. For mPFC none of the effects were statistically significant. In all, ROI analysis (on regions identified based on the query in Neurosynth) was consistent with the whole brain analysis.
