“…The P2 is an attention-related component that reflects early emotional arousal processing (Carretié et al, 2001;Junghöfer et al, 2001;Schupp et al, 2007;Wang et al, 2012). The LPP is a later component that reflects more sustained processing of emotion (Hajcak et al, 2010;Schmitz et al, 2012;Solomon et al, 2012;Dickey et al, 2021). Thus, P2 and LPP reflect the emotional processing in different cognitive stages.…”

“…However, in the late stages of emotional processing (LPP), the results suggested a significant main effect of donation context, and the interaction effect between donation context and donation amount was not significant. ERP research on developmental changes in emotion regulation is still relatively limited, highlighting a critical direction for future research (Dickey et al, 2021).…”

Neural Responses to Mandatory and Voluntary Donation Impact Charitable Giving Decisions: An Event-Related Potentials Study

The present study aimed to explore the influence of donation amounts on donation decisions in different donation contexts and to reveal the psychological mechanisms. Furthermore, we focused on how to enhance individuals’ intention to donate voluntarily. We designed an experiment on donation decisions, employing event-related potentials (ERPs) to probe the effect of psychological mechanisms on donation decisions by detecting the neural basis of donation decision-making. Based on S-O-R (stimulus-organism-response) theory, we used donation contexts and donation amounts (stimuli) to induce psychological activity in the participants (organism) and then influence individual donation decision behaviors (response). Moreover, we applied psychological reactance (PR) theory to discuss the effect of donation context on decisions and the corresponding psychological process. The behavioral results showed that donation contexts (mandatory vs. voluntary) were significantly related to the donation amounts (i.e., less vs. more money that the charity received than money that the participants donated). At the ERP level, compared with mandatory donation, voluntary donation evoked a larger P2 amplitude when the charity received less money. In addition, a larger mean amplitude of LPP was elicited by voluntary donation compared to mandatory donation. This study provides practical implications for charity organizers to guide people to donate voluntarily.

“…Importantly, late childhood and adolescence are marked by significant changes in neurobiological sensitivity to affective stimuli due to mismatched timing in the maturation of subcortical and prefrontal neural regions in this developmental window (Somerville et al., 2010 ). Correspondingly, the LPP to affective stimuli decreases across adolescence into the transition to adulthood (Dickey et al., 2021a ; MacNamara et al., 2016 ), therefore highlighting the need to examine whether results are reproduced in youth samples when affective reactivity is enhanced. Second, prior studies investigating LPP and stress relations have focused solely on LPP response to affective images, potentially reflecting sustained attention towards external, environmental stimuli.…”

Despite evidence that stress exposure increases risk for internalizing symptoms in youth, it remains unclear which youth are most vulnerable. This study examined whether youth's prepandemic late positive potential (LPP), an electrocortical marker of sustained attention to affective stimuli, exacerbated the impact of stress on prospective increases in depression and anxiety symptoms from before to during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Participants were 29 youth (ages 9–16, 82.8% girls) who completed depression and anxiety symptom measures and an affective words task to assess LPP to positive and negative self‐referential stimuli prepandemic onset. Postpandemic onset, approximately 16.03 months (SD = 8.86) after their baseline assessments, youth again completed symptom measures as well as the UCLA Life Stress Interview to assess ongoing social and financial chronic stress. Results indicated a significant interaction between youth LPP to negative words and financial stress. Greater exposure to financial stress during the pandemic predicted greater anxiety symptom increases specifically for youth who demonstrated enhanced prepandemic LPP to negative words. Results were specific to the prediction of anxiety, but not depression, symptoms. If replicated in larger studies, findings highlight enhanced LPP to negative stimuli as a promising target for intervention for youth exposed to greater financial stress.

“…Taken together, the literature examining the NVS functioning in depression risk is mostly inconsistent and this might be due to several reasons, including cross-study differences in tasks and types of stimuli used, and/or the presence of comorbid anxiety symptoms (for reviews, see Weinberg et al, 2015a ; Dickey et al, 2021 ). Although the role of NVS functioning in vulnerability to depression is not definite, many reviewed psychophysiological studies on emotional reactivity in at-risk samples suggest that vulnerability might be related to blunted responses to unpleasant stimuli, indicating a general pattern of blunted motivation in accordance with the ECI model.…”

Considering that the classical categorical approach to mental disorders does not allow a clear identification of at-risk conditions, the dimensional approach provided by the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) is useful in the exploration of vulnerability to psychopathology. In the RDoC era, psychophysiological models have an important role in the reconceptualization of mental disorders. Indeed, progress in the study of depression vulnerability has increasingly been informed by psychophysiological models. By adopting an RDoC lens, this narrative review focuses on how psychophysiological models can be used to advance our knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying depression vulnerability. Findings from psychophysiological research that explored multiple RDoC domains in populations at-risk for depression are reviewed and discussed. Future directions for the application of psychophysiological research in reaching a more complete understanding of depression vulnerability and, ultimately, improving clinical utility, are presented.
