“…Preliminary evidence has shown that social and material reward consumption engages distinct neural circuits (Rademacher et al, 2010), which requires systematic investigation in future metaanalytic studies with more publications on social reward. Second, the current study did not examine aberrant brain functions of reward anticipation across mental disorders, which are closely related to dysfunctions of reward-related processing (Hanewald et al, 2017;Husain and Roiser, 2018;Knutson and Heinz, 2015). Future studies in this line might reveal common neural circuit disruptions in reward anticipation across psychiatric disorders.…”

Both social and material rewards play a crucial role in daily life and function as strong incentives for various goal-directed behaviors. However, it remains unclear whether the incentive effects of social and material reward are supported by common or distinct neural circuits. Here, we have addressed this issue by quantitatively synthesizing and comparing neural signatures underlying social (21 contrasts, 207 foci, 696 subjects) and monetary (94 contrasts, 1083 foci, 2060 subjects) reward anticipation. We demonstrated that social and monetary reward anticipation engaged a common neural circuit consisting of the ventral tegmental area, ventral striatum, anterior insula, and supplementary motor area, which are intensively connected during both task and resting states. Functional decoding findings indicate that this generic neural pathway mediates positive value, motivational relevance, and action preparation during reward anticipation, which together motivate individuals to prepare well for the response to the upcoming target. Our findings support the *

“…Aberrant subjective reward processing might account for empirical findings showing that people with psychosis are less likely to trust a social interaction partner (Fett et al, 2012b;Gromann et al, 2013), and more recent work showing that paranoia is associated with a general reduction in generosity in social interactions, even when trust is not a strategic concern (Raihani and Bell, 2017a). Evidence from patients with schizophrenia also suggests variation in social reward processing, with patients showing reduced responsiveness to social rewards (smiling faces, (Hanewald et al, 2017)) and increased self-reported social anhedonia (Dodell-Feder et al, 2014).…”

Paranoia is the belief that harm will occur and is intended by others. Although commonly framed in terms of attributing malicious intent to others, recent work has explored how paranoia also affects social behaviour, using economic games. Previous work found that paranoia is associated with decreased cooperation and increased punishment in the Dictator Game (where cooperating and punishing involve paying a cost to respectively increase or decrease a partner’s income). These findings suggest that paranoia might be associated with variation in subjective reward from experiencing positive and/or negative social interactions; a possibility we explore using a pre-registered experiment with US-based participants (n=2,004). Paranoia was associated with increased self-reported enjoyment of negative social interactions and decreased self-reported enjoyment of prosocial interactions. More paranoid participants attributed stronger harmful intent to a partner. Harmful intent attributions and the enjoyment of negative social interactions positively predicted the tendency to pay to punish the partner. Cooperation was positively associated with the tendency to enjoy prosocial interactions, and increased with participant age. There was no main effect of paranoia on tendency to cooperate in this setting. We discuss these findings in light of previous research.

“…Emerging research has yielded mixed results using different laboratory social interaction tasks (Blanchard, Park, Catalano, & Bennett, 2015; McCarthy et al, 2018); however, there is evidence to suggest that social enjoyment decreases with more severe negative symptoms (Blanchard et al, 2015; Granholm, Ben-Zeev, Fulford, & Swendsen, 2013; Oorschot et al, 2013). Another possibility is that people with schizophrenia may not anticipate social activities to be as enjoyable (Engel, Fritzsche, & Lincoln, 2016; Gard et al, 2014), which may occur because of difficulties using social outcomes to guide behavior (Campellone, Fisher, & Kring, 2016; but also see Hanewald et al, 2017). There are few studies that directly examine reward processing of both social and nonsocial rewards (e.g., Hanewald et al, 2017).…”

Social impairment in schizophrenia is often thought to reflect poor social cognition. Here we examine responses to social rewards, an aspect of social functioning that is not featured prominently in the literature. The goal of this experiment was to explore whether people with schizophrenia (a) undervalue social rewards, and (b) whether the undervaluation of social rewards was related to motivation and pleasure deficits in schizophrenia and decreased social functioning. People with schizophrenia and healthy participants completed a game (Shore & Heerey, 2011) to explore preferences for different types of social (polite and genuine smiles) and nonsocial (monetary) rewards from computerized opponents. Preferences for reward types were quantified for each participant based on choice behavior during the game. Participants also completed a smile discrimination task to assess their ability to discriminate these types of smiles. Analyses revealed that people with schizophrenia (N = 41) treated genuine smiles as significantly less rewarding than did healthy participants (N = 29), despite showing a similar preference for monetary rewards. The undervaluation of social rewards was not related to the ability to discriminate between the smiles. The current findings provide preliminary evidence of reduced social reward valuation among individuals with schizophrenia, which may have implications for behavior in face-to-face social interactions.
