The elusive neural signature of emotion regulation capabilities: evidence from a large-scale consortium

This study examines the relationship between neural activation during reappraisal tasks and individual differences in emotion regulation, finding no shared overlap across three measures and highlighting methodological challenges in fMRI research.

Self-enhancement and devaluation of others during belief formation are linked to narcissistic traits

This study links narcissistic traits to self-enhancement and devaluation of others during belief formation using computational modeling and behavioral experiments.

Self-compassion is linked to positive affect and buffers declines in self-esteem in low performers

The paper examines how self-compassion affects positive affect and self-esteem, finding it buffers declines in self-esteem for low performers and predicts higher positive affect.

Self-esteem modulates beneficial causal attributions in the formation of novel self-beliefs

This study examines how self-esteem and depression influence causal attributions and self-belief formation through a computational model of learning.

Prior expectations about own abilities bias self-belief formation and hinder subsequent revision

This study shows that initial expectations bias self-belief formation and hinder their revision even when feedback contradicts them.

Aberrant insula activity to negative and reduced learning from positive prediction errors as mechanisms underlying maladaptive self-belief formation in depression

The paper investigates how depression affects self-belief formation through altered neural responses to positive and negative feedback.

Neurocomputational mechanisms of affected beliefs

This study investigates how affect and neural activity influence the formation of self-efficacy beliefs through computational modeling and neuroimaging.

Self-beneficial belief updating as a coping mechanism for stress-induced negative affect

The paper investigates how self-related belief updating helps manage stress-induced negative affect after social-evaluative stress, showing it improves recovery compared to physical stress or no stress.

Selective REM-Sleep Suppression Increases Next-Day Negative Affect and Amygdala Responses to Social Exclusion

This study shows that suppressing REM sleep increases negative affect and amygdala responses to social exclusion the next day, but not emotional regulation through reappraisal.

The Pursuit of Pride: Outcomes achieved under Beliefs of Internal Control shape positive Affect and neural Dynamics in the vmPFC

The paper shows that believing in internal control increases self-evaluative affect and neural activity in the vmPFC, leading to preferences for control.
