“…In line with neuroscientific research on trust processes (see Table A1) and existing procedures of meuroIS that analyze fMRI data by using different contrasts (Dimoka, 2012), we found similar activation patterns in regions associated with limbic structures (i.e., the anterior cingulate cortex (Baumgartner et al, 2008;Bereczkei et al, 2013;Bos et al, 2009;King-Casas et al, 2005), prefrontal brain areas (i.e., orbitofrontal cortex (oFC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC)) (Aimone et al, 2014;Baumgartner et al, 2008;Bos et al, 2009;Delgado et al, 2005;King-Casas et al, 2005;Krueger et al, 2007;Winston et al, 2002), and major structures of the striatum, such as the putamen and caudate (Baumgartner et al 2008;Delgado et al, 2006;Fareri et al, 2012;Phan et al 2010). …”

“…First, fMRI studies have revealed similar activation patterns in the AI during trust decisions in both versions of the IG (Aimone, et al, 2014; Delgado, et al, 2005; Kang, et al, 2011; Krueger, et al, 2008), while striatal activity has mainly been reported in the multi-round IG (Baumgartner, et al, 2008; Delgado, et al, 2005; Krueger, et al, 2007). Thus, our first aim in this meta-analysis was to test whether trust decisions engage different neural mechanisms in the two versions of the IG.…”

“…Based on the extant literature, we hypothesized that brain regions associated with aversion (e.g., the AI) may be consistently recruited by trust (Aimone, et al, 2014) and reciprocity decisions (Chang, et al, 2011). Trust may evoke aversive feelings in the trustor due to the uncertainty about the decision outcomes (especially in the one-shot IG), while reciprocity likely elicits aversive feelings in the trustee because of the pressing requirement to comply with social norms (e.g., repayment of altruistic behaviors) (Fehr and Schmidt, 1999; Read Montague, et al, 2015).…”

Trust in reciprocity (TR) is defined as the risky decision to invest valued resources in another party with the hope of mutual benefit. Several fMRI studies have investigated the neural correlates of TR in one-shot and multi-round versions of the investment game (IG). However, an overall characterization of the underlying neural networks remains elusive. Here, we employed a coordinate-based meta-analysis (activation likelihood estimation method, 30 papers) to investigate consistent brain activations in each of the IG stages (i.e., the trust, reciprocity and feedback stage). Our results showed consistent activations in the anterior insula (AI) during trust decisions in the one-shot IG and decisions to reciprocate in the multi-round IG, likely related to representations of aversive feelings. Moreover, decisions to reciprocate also consistently engaged the intraparietal sulcus, probably involved in evaluations of the reciprocity options. On the contrary, trust decisions in the multi-round IG consistently activated the ventral striatum, likely associated with reward prediction error signals. Finally, the dorsal striatum was found consistently recruited during the feedback stage of the multi-round IG, likely related to reinforcement learning. In conclusion, our results indicate different neural networks underlying trust, reciprocity and feedback learning. These findings suggest that although decisions to trust and reciprocate may elicit aversive feelings likely evoked by the uncertainty about the decision outcomes and the pressing requirements of social standards, multiple interactions allow people to build interpersonal trust for cooperation via a learning mechanism by which they arguably learn to distinguish trustworthy from untrustworthy partners.

“…Betrayal aversion is another phenomenon. In an fMRI study the anterior insula became active during trusting decisions that involved the possibility of betrayal [2]. The authors suggested that "betrayal aversion" derives from the desire to avoid negative emotions that result from one's trust being betrayed.…”

Romantic Breakup Distress, Betrayal and Heartbreak: A Review

Although romantic breakups, breakup distress and heartbreak are common among adults, they have occurred as early as the seventh grade [90], and most of the studies on these topics have been conducted with university students, as reflected by the literature reviewed in this paper. Romantic breakups occur in as many as twothirds of university samples [43,104]. The breakups frequently lead to breakup distress which is often associated with depression, feelings of rejection and betrayal, heartbreak symptoms including chest pain and compromised immune function. This review summarizes some of that literature.In one of the early studies on romantic breakups in university students, the Breakup Distress Scale (adapted from the Inventory of Complicated Grief) and several other measures were used to assess the distress that followed romantic breakups [43]. In that, 192 university students (primarily Hispanic women)were surveyed about their recent romantic breakup. The students were divided into high versus low scoring groups based on the Breakup Distress Scale. The group with high Breakup Distress Scale scores reported that they had less time since the breakup occurred, that they were not the initiators of the breakup, that the breakup was sudden and unexpected, and that they felt rejected and betrayed. In a regression analysis on the same database, the depression scores (CES-D) and feeling rejected and betrayed by the breakup were significant predictors of the Breakup Distress scores. These variables explained 37% of the variance, highlighting their relationships to breakup distress. These results were not surprising given that depression has been related to other kinds of grief, and feelings of rejection and betrayal have been notably similar to physical pain and have led to immune dysfunction [29,47]. Thus, literature that related romantic breakups to depression, rejection and betrayal, pain and immune dysfunction are reviewed here. In addition, fMRI and biochemical data are reviewed as potential underlying mechanisms, and social and biochemical interventions are briefly explored. AbstractA review of the romantic breakup literature suggests that it can lead to breakup distress, betrayal and heartbreak. The breakup distress that occurs can be explained in part by depression and feelings of rejection and betrayal. These may lead to physical problems including heartbreak or the broken heart syndrome and immune dysfunction. The broken heart syndrome has notably mimicked heart attacks, but it has been differentiated from a real heart attack by angiograms revealing unclogged arteries and no permanent heart damage. Reduced vagal activity and increased cortisol and catecholamine levels (dopamine and norepinephrine) accompanying heartbreak are thought to be potential underlying mechanisms for the broken heart syndrome and for immune dysfunction including increased inflammatory cytokines and reduced natural killer cells. fMRIs following breakups have revealed increased activity in the cingulate cortex and the right ventricular pr...
