越来越多的移情调节研究揭示了社会刺激在人脑中的神经基础，特别是他人的痛苦。然而，观察他人得失的移情反应仍然没有明确的特征。在本研究中，我们进行了两个实验的赌博任务，以探讨人际熟悉和自我参与的工作如何调节的时间神经反应对获得和失去一个朋友或陌生人的头皮记录事件相关电位（ERP）。电生理数据显示，在这两个实验中，与玩游戏的陌生人相比，观察朋友的表现时，P300的幅度增加。但是，只有当玩家没有参与游戏时，才能观察到朋友和陌生人之间的差异反馈相关消极性（d-FRN）。这些结果表明，与陌生人相比，参与者对朋友表现出更多的动机相关性，但参与者对朋友的移情反应只有在他们没有直接参与赌博时才显著。因此，熟悉度和自我投入都是影响移情的因素，补充了最近关于移情调节的研究。(C)2010年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
A growing number of studies in exploring empathic modulation have revealed the neural substrates of how social stimuli are represented in the human brain, especially the pain of others. The empathic response of observing other's gains and losses, however, remains not clearly characterized. In the current study, we carried out two experiments with a gamble task to investigate how the effects of interpersonal familiarity and self-participation work on modulating the temporal neural response towards gain and loss of a friend or a stranger using scalp-recorded event-related potentials (ERPs). The electrophysiological data show an increased amplitude of the P300 when observing a friend's performance compared to strangers playing the game in both two experiments. But the distinction of differentiated feedback-related negativity (d-FRN) between friends and strangers was only observed when the player was not involved in the game. These results indicated that the participants exerted more motivational relevance toward their friends than strangers, but the participants' empathic response toward friends was only salient when they were not involved in the gamble directly. Therefore, both familiarity and self-engagement are factors that influence the empathy towards others, complementing the recent research on empathic modulation. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
