Fig 1.
Trial sequence of the face word relevance rating task.
The real face photos and Korean words were presented during fMRI experiment; in this figure, the visual stimuli are replaced with cartoon images and English words to help understand the task procedure.
Table 1.
The relevance rating and response time (mean and standard deviation) as a task performance in the high life satisfaction (HLS) and low life satisfaction (LLS) groups.
Table 2.
Brain activation in each word valence condition while seeing self compared with public other in each life satisfaction group.
Table 3.
The main and interaction effects of group and word valence while seeing self compared with public other.
Fig 2.
Brain regions showing the interaction effect between group and word valence and post-hoc analyses for group differences (**p<0.01; *p<0.05; and †p = 0.05).
Error bars represent standard errors. R., right; L., left; DLPFC, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; dMPFC, dorsal medial prefrontal cortex; LLS, low life satisfaction group; and HLS, high life satisfaction group.
Fig 3.
Context-dependent functional connectivity in the self when compared with the public other between a source (x = 2, y = 24, z = 44) in the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dMPFC) and a priori regions of interest in each life satisfaction group.
The white dotted lines showed a significantly increased functional connectivity between the dMPFC and a priori targets. R. dMPFC, right dorsal medial prefrontal cortex; R. vMPFC, right ventral medial prefrontal cortex; R. dACC, right dorsal anterior cingulate cortex; R. vACC, right ventral anterior cingulate cortex; R. TPJ, right temporo-parietal junction; L. TPJ, left temporo-parietal junction; L. PCC, left posterior cingulate cortex; R. PrC, right precentral gyrus; L. PrC, left precentral gyrus; L. INS, left insula; and L. Amyg, left amygdala.
