Abstract

The objective of this short review is to highlight rewarding aspects of social interactions for humans and discuss their neural basis. Thereby we report recent research findings to illustrate how social stimuli in general are processed in the reward system and highlight the role of Theory of Mind as one mediating process for experiencing social reward during social interactions. In conclusion we discuss clinical implications for psychiatry and psychotherapy.

Social interaction, digital or not, activates the dopaminergic reward circuits in the basal ganglia.
“Social interaction (digital or not) activates the dopaminergic reward circuits in the basal ganglia”
From Hypernatural Monitoring: A Social Rehearsal Account of Smartphone Addiction (2018) · cites this paper as Krach et al., 2010
In “The Rewarding Character of Social Stimuli” (page unavailable), the paper says dopaminergic reward circuits in the basal ganglia process rewarding social stimuli. It does not establish that digital interactions activate those circuits, and it cautions that social interactions are not inherently rewarding; their reward value depends on context and interpretation.

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.
