Functional connectivity with the anterior cingulate is associated with extraversion during the emotional Stroop task

Abstract

Previous research has investigated the association of personality traits with brain activation in response to emotional stimuli. Our current research efforts are directed at understanding the temporal dynamics of networks of structures associated with particular personality traits, and gain insights into the functional contributions of more narrowly defined trait-facets that comprise these personality traits. To begin this process, we conducted a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study using an emotional attention task (emotional Stroop paradigm) and addressed the question whether individual differences in extraversion and its lower-level facets were associated with differences in activation, and in functional connectivity, of the anterior cingulate (AC) cortex. We replicated our earlier finding that extraversion was associated with increased AC activation to positive, relative to neutral, word stimuli, but now show that distinct facets of extraversion can account for this association. When analyzing for functional connectivity, we found that greater extraversion across individuals was associated with greater functional connectivity between the AC and the inferior parietal lobule, and that this association could also be accounted for by distinct facets of extraversion. Our data suggest that extraversion and some of its lower-level facets are associated with individual differences across a network of structures believed to be critical in cognitive and affective processing.

  • Enhanced ACC response specifically to positive words is related to extraversion.

    “More recent studies have reported enhanced ACC response specifically to positive words, and further, have related enhanced ACC response to the personality trait of extraversion (Canli et al., 2004;Haas et al., 2006).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
