“…Neuroeconomic games that probe decision-making in ecologically valid (often interpersonal) contexts (Hasler, 2012; Jeung et al, 2016; King-Casas & Chiu, 2012; Kishida et al, 2010; Montague, 2007; Robson et al, 2020; Sharp, 2012; Sharp et al, 2012) have revealed deficits in cooperative and trust behaviors in BPD, specifically related to perception of social norms and risk as compared to non-social risk (e.g., decisions involving fixed gambles; Franzen et al, 2011; Henco et al, 2020; King-casas et al, 2008; Preuss et al, 2016; Seres et al, 2009; Sharp, 2012; Unoka et al, 2009). Similarly, tasks assessing so-called ‘theory of mind’ processes (also known as ‘mentalizing’) have shown that adolescents with BPD show a tendency to ‘hypermentalize’ when inferring the intentions or mental states of others (Arntz et al, 2009; Henco et al, 2020; Sharp et al, 2011; Vaskinn et al, 2015; Zabihzadeh et al, 2017). Although these studies suggest changes in mentalization and cooperative decision-making processes in BPD, behavior during competitive interactions has not been investigated.…”
