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-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.

Time-of-day related fluctuations of self-belief formation

The paper examines how time-of-day affects self-belief formation through computational modeling of learning behavior in healthy participants.

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.
