Schematic illustration of the experimental procedure and the stimuli examples.
Each trial presented a single stimulus. In a session, a standard stimulus (neutral face) was presented in 70% of the trials, while stimuli (happy or anger faces of diverse intensities) in each deviant condition were presented in 10% of the trials.

Averaged ERPs for high self-esteem (left) and low self-esteem (right) participants during the 100%, 70%, and 40% face conditions in the positive session.

(Top) Topographical maps of the amplitudes difference between 100% and 70% happy faces (across 300–500 ms) in high and low self-esteem participants. (Bottom) Topographical maps of the amplitudes difference between 100% and 40% anger faces (across 300–500 ms), and between 70% and 40% anger faces (across 300–500 ms) in high and low self-esteem participants.
